For some time I attend a place whose employees work, during breaks, and are dedicated to reading.
"Booyah!", You say. Beautiful eye! The readings range from brochures of shopping centers to recipes, via "The week puzzles. But not "The week puzzle" we have always known, that makes you turn on the brain and impose the rules - so many boxes, many letters, which must cross each - no, nor that which, playing in a group and if the going gets tough, we did decide, after hours of puzzling, to enter into a scheme (but for a joke) with a word a total fabrication. No: one without rules, in which vowels and consonants are launched as bulk nuts, the double killing and becoming the box that moves you - why do not you know that word is spelled with a double consonant - is blackened in the certainty that they, puzzles, to have been wrong. And in any event, now in this country without rules, even those dell'enigmistica be walked on.
other latitudes and other geological periods than when - almost forty years ago, was in the hospital "Rizzoli" Bologna - I noted with pleasure and admiration for Emilia and with great regret for the Sicilian, the nurses there were reading "The history of Elsa Morante while down here were devoted to soap operas.
Now that everything is globalized, even ignorance, from north to south is reading the brochure of the mall (and, on the other hand, already speaks volumes to the fact that they prefer to spend their Sundays locked up like rats in the dark department stores in the sun rather than walk the streets of an old town, or in the sea or in open country) and the culture is to know how many pixels a TV ultra ol'innumerevole number of programs of the washing machine of your dreams . Yes, because in their dreams, there is a washing machine. And it is unfair for life. A book does not buy it, no (or even a newspaper), and they look surprised when I told him that the only payments made in your life and for living were those of an everlasting contract Einaudi started in high school and never finished.
The books are too expensive in Italy - this is true - but not washing machines and televisions that you pull them back. And so for these you undue up to his neck: why in the Italy of advertising aimed at Berlusconi's sexy troiume choose the wash program or hold in your hand (not-too-disguised metaphor) the telecazzo used to change channels, but the sex-appeal the brain is not covered. Indeed, the more you are an idiot (the more you are stupid, because this is the only area where the Italians and Italian are on an equal footing, sluts and whores, as shown in most of the composition of Parliament) is better. The latest report
Istat reported about the reading of the Italians - circulated in May 2010 and the previous year, is disheartening. First, for the parameters adopted: Based on what we read in the foreword of the report, the term "player" means "people aged 6 and over who have at least read a book for reasons other than strictly academic or professional in the previous 12 months' interview. " A book in a year, you realize?! After that, these bookworms will find that those who read more (so to speak) - 58% - are kids between 11 and 17 years. And here, sorry, but even if it is not grounds for "strictly educational" I suspect we're talking about the readings in the summer and I imagine recommended by teachers (which, fortunately, still exist and resist, even if it is the Gelmini doing everything to get them out). Then there is the precipice: after 35 years, the "readers" (again, a book of the year!) Become 48.7% and the data set as they are over 65 and then 75 years, when it comes to 22.8%. Stuff that I wish I had more than 75 years to finally have a chance to read in peace without pain in the ass! However
. The figures become even gruesome when looking at the different geographical areas and I do not think that something is wrong c'entrino the economic conditions in which science is held on the South of Italy, so as to continuously feed a reservoir of electoral subjects: if the North and Central the number of readers (also a book a year!) reaches (boom!) 52%, in the South and islands but it goes a little further on, respectively, 34 and 35%.
As for reading newspapers, according to ISTAT, 2010, "the 55.0 percent of the population of at least 6 years said that he read the newspaper at least once a week." And, excuse the skepticism, but I suspect that than once a week to coincide with Monday. Those who are optimistic are instead defined "regular readers" - that is, those who read the newspaper to "at least five days a week" - but there's barely 39.3%. All other
take drugs with pictures of the latest washing machines and televisions. Through which dotard tg Berlusconi as well as sequins and naked bodies manufactured in the laboratories of the plastic surgeons.
must be why the big players who own (or rather, to use the Istat, "regular readers") of leaflets are also major constituents of a man of plastic that has destroyed a whole country, its culture, the values, work, democracy, human rights, economy and even the true feelings.
