"Did" is the PAST tense form of "do". However personal pronouns are perfectly fine and everybody uses them a thousand times a day, so it would be OK to say "I will not read him in the future" UNLESS: 1) The statement was NOT made in our everyday world where personal pronoun duplicating machines don't exist yet, or... 2) The personal pronoun was used in a thought experiment that was trying to illustrate a point about existentialism and the fundamental nature of personal identity.
