Extracted from the title story of this text from the article "Communication healthy, toxic silence" by Enrique Sueiro, it just has to do with what would develop later, I'm concerned that if it is true that neither can nor worth reading all , celebrate with such deliberate illiteracy phrase comes from whoever comes, will not admit justification.

But what I will say again that I have said, as two centuries ago, Mariano José Larra who do not show the statistics and does not endorse our government, media and industry professionals who must draw on the psychology reverse to encourage to read. Because it is not, nor will be, a custom in this country after reading, as, from the humor that characterizes us, look with scorn, but also of justice, with disgust.

But what is read healthier? Do I have to read by reading? What should you read? "Evasion or scholarship? Endless options facing is fighting both the casual reader as the professional, while leading us to some discomfort if the election is not our complete satisfaction. Since reading under the August sun leaves us exhausted and hungry in search of other activities much more dilute and possibly lighter, for example, facing the empty summer television that requires no intellectual effort than pressing the Change button channels with some regularity.

But make no mistake that non-reading does not become healthy. Whether it's a newspaper, book or this pamphlet (which is not worth your time) do not be capture by the destitution because of this, that you fall into it, is the desire of many to take you to the ground, to confuse you with words grandiose but empty in content. Do not be wise by reading consideréis stale and knowledge acquired so long ago, because the vanity will make you fall in your own ignorance and caught him, you sweet abandonaréis in slope of the spiral that eventually will drag you to a well which will cost you emerge again.

We've said it before, but we repeat: Read always damned!

    I think the answer lies in the classics of world literature. No wonder they have carried out the "agreements" social people who have locked up for years in licencituras such as Hispanic Literature, French, English, etc. However, I admit with some tightness in the heart than in my country ( Mexico) bit is read and also very bad. Somo here would say the writer José Joaquín Blanco on "The pubertal canephori" to "functionally illiterate" whom he chooses to write about everything, without embarrassment or sanity.

  2. L. says:

    "But he lost his senses Alonso Quijano el Bueno for his penchant for excessive and absurd romances? What is the sense, then, the count and subsequent fire that attacked the priest and the bachelor?
    Censorship exists today as in the old: it is a protection system of values prevailing in a given society. Now, for example, censor and rightly apologetic writings on terrorism, pedophilia, anorexia, racism, etc.. Are we alone are going to be right?
    The censorship every time and place you select what can and should be read through its dominant elites. There is no question of illiteracy and intolerance: a matter of collective survival and transmission of beliefs.
    Hence the inevitable consequence: there are books harmful, toxic readings, words like bombs.

  3. I did remember our infamous exmandatario Vicente Fox, who on more than one occasion showed how healthy it was obvious that was not read. Among his statements:

    Say instead of Borges Borges
    To say that Vargas Llosa is Colombian who won a nobel prize
    And advise a woman not read the newspapers to not be depressed.

  4. [...] Collation of the above in this same place, on how healthy or unhealthy reading, we could not lose this opportunity and stop publishing this vignette of Ramon, comedian [...]

  5. [...] Documentary is tangled and, please, please click on the title it worthwhile: How healthy are you, does not smoke or read!. The other is a quotation that Unamuno's priceless art found on the net: "The mind seeks what [...]
