Cititul e bun, ziceam la începutul anului, când dădeam startul lui 2018 cu o serie despre lecturile celor din jurul nostru. Ne deschide mintea, dezvolta empatia, ne da vieti de schimb. Dar cere timp și efort. Rămâne mereu pe lista de ”am vrea, dar - „”. Și tot ce vine după dar, desi nu putem pune degetul exact (un pic de Facebook, un pic de Netflix, poate somn), este mai important decât cărțile care ne privesc îmbufnate și neatinse.
Nu am pornit lista de mai jos cu gândul de a spori vinovății inutile. Ci doar de a confirma solidarități. Comunitatea celor cărora le place să citească, dar pur și simplu nu mai reușesc/pot să o facă e destul de mare. Lor le dedicăm Weekend Watch Listul de azi.
