Our rose reading books of Emilio Salgari, Julio Verne, Walter Scott, Tomas Carrasquilla, encyclopedias such as the treasure of youth, which left us many teachings, or in hidden in each library, almost invisible, as were the works of Nietzsche, Schopenhauer, Vargas Vila, considered unfit for the mind and youth books, because they questioned prevailing society and power. They filled our time, fulfill our loneliness and opened us the horizon to worlds beautiful and wonderful, different to the harsh reality of adults, and the prevailing political condition. As said Maria Zambrano, a specific loneliness is the loneliness of reading: a solitude that is communication: retire to read is to establish a separation that unites, a distance which approximates.

Conferences are compiled in CDs, and this has its advantages, but more and more libraries are closed and stores offering all sorts of electronic devices are erected proud in a society dazzled by all the latest technology.
