¿Por qué leemos?

Hola a tod@s:

Estaba leyendo el blog de Antonio Linde y no he podido resistirme a compartir con vosotros una canción que recomienda de Nick Lowe que se titula "I read a lot" (leo un montón). Es la historia de una persona que encuentra consuelo en la lectura. Os recomiendo escuchar el vídeo mientras leéis la letra abajo.



I read a lot, nowadays,
much more than before
you left me high and dry
in a loveless land
with nothing but time on my hands.

I read a lot, not just magazines,
but other more serious things,
to get me through the day
nighttime too
whilst wondering how in the world
to go on without you.

"Lonely" isn't the word for me now.
"Blue" doesn't describe it somehow.
"Blue" isn't the word for me now.

I read a lot, I can't put it down
while others are painting the town
you'll find me in a world of fantasy
Population: one. That's me.

So if you ask me how I stop
contemplating what I now have not
I'll reply I read a lot.
