Well, in my opinion, 87.5% (if not more) use Facebook for nonsense, not for information. If someone wants information, they subscribe to the ANSA newsletter, not to Facebook. Even on blogs that provide information, honestly, I have my doubts. If the problem is speed, fine, but I have my concerns about effectiveness. But then why do you put your nickname at the end of every post? Isn't the one in blue that appears automatically enough? B. Boom

But indeed, I am of the opinion that fantasy (with rare exceptions) can be indulged in until you’re about 17. Then you come to a crossroads: give up hoping that in an episode of Xena - Warrior Princess, Lucy Lawless and the blonde girl will engage in some lesbian action and become a man, or be doomed forever to be the bald dungeon master in role-playing games on Thursday nights.

I personally found it thrilling: "Immersioni e brasato: un amore impossibile?"

A Christmas Carol that, let's not forget, you read in the original version 6 months ago, between one feeding and another.

But then you go from Asimov to Smith?!? Instead of improving, you get worse over the years? What is it, are you saving Moccia for when you’re 50?!? Or is it just that there’s no action in Asimov, while in Smith’s books there’s at least a hot girl showing off her curves! Come on, you can tell us, ginuccio! ;)

So you're calling me stupid for what my childhood readings were?! You're judging me because I wasn't lucky enough to have someone introduce me to reading like, most likely, you did?! I'm sorry ginuccio, but I believe that all your super cool childhood readings didn't make you a better person. No no. Take that!

Gino, I think you've read too much King and now you're not reading the comments. Otherwise, it doesn’t explain why you always have to be told the same things. Point 1: explain to me where the hell I say that Rowling got ALL kids into reading. I only said that a lot of kids who otherwise would have hated books got into reading thanks to HP. Point 2: I never said, "This saga is amazing," especially for the reasons you state. Re-read (or rather, at this point, read) my first comment: you'll find a list of pros and cons. Cons = Not amazing. I called myself a "supporter." Supporter = Not an obsessed fan. Point 3: "Rowling hasn't moved an inch." I'm sorry, but that's not true. For example: back then, my younger cousins would write to Santa Claus asking for the latest Harry Potter as a gift. Not the PSX game, but a book. That's the difference: the other children's literature books mentioned (certainly "nobler" than HP, and who doubts it?!?) reach the kid because they are lucky enough to have someone to offer them. With HP, though, it was the kids themselves who wanted to read. And I think this is important and shouldn't be underestimated. Point 4: Chricton at 8 years old?!? Asimov at 8 years old?!?! Yeah, I can totally picture the third grader devouring the 3 laws of robotics! :D You're rambling!!

Well! It seems like something about breaking an orange... I don't remember anything else.

"Reading a book just because it's cool is like not reading it at all." I understand that many of you brought Borges' bibliography for your fifth-grade thesis, but not everyone has the luck of being born touched by the holy oil of literature. We're not talking about adults who gobble up the books of Fabio Volo here. We're talking about school-aged children who, if they don’t receive the right stimuli, certainly won’t spontaneously ask mom and dad for a library card for Christmas. With my statement, I wanted to refer not so much to "reading that book" (as is the case with The Da Vinci Code), but to "reading a book" in a broader sense, as the activity of "reading." And I feel I can speak about this with knowledge of the subject: before HP, reading was considered uncool among kids. After HP, it wasn’t. Before HP, you would walk into any bookstore and find children's literature mixed in with Lonely Planet guides; now you see shelves filled with it. Of course, it would be better to grow up with Rodari, Buzzati, Saint-Exupéry... but that’s not always possible.
