My friend, Lu.
L as new information technologies hasty predicted the death of the book. At the wrong time television also predicted its end. The truth is, that tradition will never die reader, to the delight of many. Remember when you received the book market in Athens, Socrates considered it unfortunate, " Because the books are less than the conversation " However, thanks to them, know their treaties.
never hear on television news: "Yesterday a student read the Apology of Socrates and was more free" or this: "Read to Gabriel Zaid is like riding a bicycle "
According to the publisher Lulu, estimates that in the United States in 2052 Authors will be 148 million and 129 million readers.
Read free, recreates is pure happiness and addiction. Each personality is unique, never the same, yes, different. Each reader is different. No matter the number of books read, may be two, three, ten or thousands, it's how we feel after read, in itself, the state we leave. I forget the shock when reading: Ulysses, In Search of Lost Time, The Magic Mountain, The Iliad, The Catcher rye, Hopscotch, The Labyrinth of Solitude, Memoirs of Hadrian, The Picture of Dorian Gray, Papillon, The Metamorphosis, "Madame Bovary, The Human Comedy, Les Miserables, Don Quixote de la Mancha, Cien anos de soledad, Pedro Páramo, Crime and Punishment, The Stranger, Paradiso, Red and Black, among others ...
The Mexican Gabriel Zaid, tells us in "The too many books ": " interesting thing is, how it goes, how it looks, as we act, after read. If the street, clouds and the existence of the others have something to say. If reading makes us, physically, more real "
Paragraphs drawn by the writer, are accompanied by aphorisms like Jose Gaos:" All personal library is a reading project "what Zaid responds " An unread book is a non-fulfilled. Keep an eye on unread books is like writing bad checks, fraud visits . "Seneca writes:" The book dispels many spirit Rambler states: "To convinced of the vanity of human hopes there is no place depressing that a public library: see covered in imposing volumes, carefully thought out and documented, that did not catalog "
covered will be discussed, will draw the desert destination for books, also Marshall McLuhan predicted the end of time bookish, simply stood talking to himself ... Humanity publishes a book every half minute.
Each reader has his vices reading, in my case, in the same week I can be reading two or three books at once and even some not found what I wanted, they always conclude, I do not allow the luxury of leave a book purchased.
" The person does not read books because they never learned to read, because they never" gave them the hit "because they never found the taste, so you never enjoy. And also to professional success and social acceptance and win it is not necessary to read books "says Mexican writer.
A beautiful ritual, exercises Zaid about books, to the times, its history, the rights of readers, its commerce and culture, diversity and concentration, the search of readers.
already said our late, José Saramago: " is easier to mourn over the pages of a book on a computer hard disk "
pd1 . They say that Gabriel Zaid was born in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico, in 1934. The truth is that ever published a photo or interview, allowing us to meet physically. It is considered a character created at the time by mutual friends: Carlos Monsivais, Jose Emilio Pacheco, Paz, Juan Villoro and other Mexican writers. Learn, I do not disappoint.
pd2. Like Saramago, today, the death of Mexican writer Carlos Monsivais upsets us and becomes more fragile than we are. It hurts to know José Emilio Pacheco, pierced with pain for its historic friendship with the teacher "Monsi."
