British media reported that Steven Tyler, lead singer of the band Aerosmith, released a book of his memoirs next May, entitled "Does the Noise in My Head Bother You?" Something like "Does the noise in my head you bother? ".

According to the same Tyler, who now serves as a judge on American Idol, the writing process was "cathartic." "Writing a book brings you did not want to remember things that happened, and as soon as you do, open that place in your mind that you throw on the pages. It's like watching your own yearbook, and I hope it does this," said Veteran rocker to Blabbermouth.net.

For its part, Aerosmith recorded a new album from the month of July, but has not yet specified the date of its release.

While changing the habit of reading from paper to screen, the printed book will remain the cheapest luxury item that anyone can buy on the market. When that happens what is already announced, people read more on the screen of an electronic gadget with the sight and hands placed on the paper-not the book will be gone, but one of the supports is disclosed.

While luxury is "everything that is beyond the means of someone to get it" and "abundance of unnecessary things", many people keep saying that, so expensive, the book is a luxury. " It is not true. If you know which book to choose between the mountains of books from libraries, which offers cheap editions of classics and contemporary titles would be acceptable enough to fill a home library.

The consumer goods market offers much more luxurious, expensive and "unnecessary." And people buy them. And when they perish, because they are perishables, replace by other peers. Follow the chain of consumption and this becomes circular. Until, suddenly, we conclude that the hitherto bought and consumed was not "everything necessary" in our quality of life.

A few days ago it was revealed that the Colombians had been reading a book and a half to read two books a year. The fraction of difference is ridiculously encouraging. Does not specify what kind of books there was an increase in the number. It is quite possible that this increase has occurred in the use of "instant books" and self-help.

The excuse of the price is not a valid argument to justify the few hours that Colombians are dedicated to reading books. The thing is much simpler: we were not educated to believe that reading a book and learn to choose what book you read was equally or more important than buying a bottle of whiskey, premium brand, perhaps unnecessary, or a pair of branded shoes , added to those already stowing in your wardrobe.

We were not educated to believe that reading a book to be indispensable in our quality of life. If you tried to do, what they did wrong and the worst of the pedagogies. For this there was a paradoxical situation: increased schooling of Colombians multiplied university education, but just read half a book more per year.

The habit of reading books leads to the habit of choosing good books, as the custom of "going to the movies" has to make good movies. It is time to distinguish between reading and reading books. Paper or screen, does not matter. One thing is the obligation to read and quite another pleasurable choice of reading.

When talking about reading habits are talking about frequent exercise, ultimately inevitable, "wasting time" giving us the opportunity to learn new things, meet remote geographies and cultures, "plunge into the unknown to find the new," find answers to questions, discover some unusual feature of the human condition, experience the thrill of a verse that sums up a mystery of life.

The lustful habit of reading books costs far less than the compulsive habit of consuming "things that are not needed." Never mind that tomorrow is read on a screen that simulates the texture of the paper, which supports underlining and notes to footnotes or library in the world that fits in a backpack. The material that ensures the survival of the book is "human, all too human", and is between thought and imagination, some of which are lost who do not read books.
