What literature can and should do
is change the people who teach the people who don’t read the books.

  1. That is one smart lady. She’s been on my “must read” list for years…and now I know why. I have two of her books, including ANGELS & INSECTS. If I ever get a break between writing and reviewing and working my butt off…

    ¿Hay algún estudio en el que asocien los porcentajes de población lectora con el desarrollo socioeconómico e intelectual de un país?

    Definitely, Byatt is such a smart lady. Her work is highly recommended, specially her short stories, The Djinn in the Nightingale’s Eye or the Little Black Book of Stories.

    Hugo, no tengo esos datos, pero estoy segura de que debe haber estudios de ese tipo. Investigaré.
