The reflection came from a comment by Morgan Palmas Blog Remo Bassini in May 2007 but remains very valuable in my opinion. So ...
" The Italians read less and less because we are a bit 'all" Neapolitan "(write it with no offensive intent, indeed, a great admiration for the city of Naples), but there it is known that in particular we arranges day by day as best as nowhere else in Italy, there I saw the most incredible things in the sale. And reading is difficult, takes time, concentration, calm ... no shortcuts, pick up the pearls of the classical literature is not easy if you want to go deep.
And reading does not make you get rich financially, the main goal of many young people. "

A bitter reflection, that of Morgan. That also explains the title that I wanted to give this post. We, in the sense of us who love to read, speak, communicate, even angry, still share, really belong to another far away planet? Sometimes it makes me think because I can not understand. Do not think I'm old enough to have put a distance between me and the abyss so-called new generation. Turn up their noses in front to phenomena such as Big Brother, which is the homeland of the same "tried so hard to try, in order to be, become famous, get rich." Then I happened to know some of the competitors, some of the winners. And I discovered some people who study (and not just acting), which have a degree, they think for themselves, who know how to express a view of meaning, which have a depth of soul. I realize that, even if they are not the majority, there are people who choose to use the means that this company makes available to them, to emerge. And not just to get rich (who do not, however, sucks to anyone, let's be honest), but to be known, to have a say or just to do what was their dream from childhood. Acting in a film, leading a drive, go into a newspaper, publish a book. All things that have strictly to do with the ' appear and, for this reason, are viewed with suspicion by all more or less. Including us. We consider that the aliens in a society that has abdicated in favor of deep speed. A society that consumes images, faces, words, even books. Once a volume published earned a kind of existence that had nothing to envy to that of a human being. As the years passed and the volume still existed, there was, you could buy. Today, after a few months, a book is dead, discontinued, gone. Just as some TV personalities. It said that this selection is not as fierce and more than Darwinian evolution, let the surface value. There are wonderful books now unobtainable. And there's a company, the Italian, who reads too little why not have the time, because he has other hobbies, because there was to know him knows his (I am quoting the quotes in the comments of post Remo). Yet when a book deserves, when is put in the hands of a reader and not highly recommended when you are unable to overcome the mistrust ... Everyone likes to READ. We also experimented with our novels. There were my relatives and that Lorena did not even read an instruction manual and instead you are passionate and have continued to read while they published . There was a friend who has been losing sleep, despite the work and a little girl, to arrive at an end of one of our novel. I realize that is not true that we belong to another far away planet. And 'we left off the taste of our time, our dreams, our imagination. For this reason I do not agree in sentences more or less unanimi nei confronti di Moccia, di Harry Potter o comunque di quei libri che sono diventati fenomeni di costume, indipendentemente dal valore letterario. Perché un libro che piace, che costringe milioni di adolescenti a leggere è, l'ho detto fino alla nausea e continuerò a ripeterlo, una porta aperta attraverso la quale altri libri, altre idee, altri sogni troveranno posto nelle menti di giovani e meno giovani.
A mio parere bisogna lavorare per questo.
