I just saw this video and I just loved it. First, because I studied at the university that this girl studies and somehow reminded me of those good times.
Second because it tells us in an almost magical way what is the passion for reading. After watching this video you are surely looking for a hole in your daily life to read a book:
The percentage of book readers in Spain now reaches 63% of the population. Source
However, it would be necessary to see to what extent this data is reliable or how this percentage has been obtained since many people claim to read books and do not actually touch a book even in their dreams.
More data:
* The profile of the reader in Spain continues to be that of a woman, With university studies, young and urban who prefers the novel, reads in Castilian and does it for entertainment.
* Madrid is the Community with the highest readership. They are followed by Cantabria, the Basque Country and Aragon. Among the least readers are Extremadura, Murcia and Asturias.

Hopefully reading circles will be implemented everywhere, possibly coordinated by public libraries and to get children, youth and adults to acquire the habit of reading.
That magic of reading really hits home. Read, but not just anything. Books that raise our level of consciousness, our human capacity, the understanding of the universe, healthy entertainment, in short, contributions for more life, more fulfillment. Thank you Beatriz S. for summarizing so masterfully the passion for reading and writing. A hug from Venezuela.
