I don't think I've ever been "required" to read something. Yes, I've
been asked to read say the PCIE spec since that's what I was working on
next, but I can't really think of why one would be "required" to read
(as in, if you don't read this you're fired) a book, as an engineer.

In my case, what I do need to read for purely work reasons I read during
work hours.
