A Program on 2M about Reading

Today, I watched on 2M channel a program about how often Moroccans read. As I watching, I was shocked to hear an interviewed newsagent saying that Moroccans read a lot and that they always buy new books. What even astounded me more were a few interviewed children saying that they read around six short books a day. An interviewed girl sitting on a bench in a park said that she read wherever she went, even in the bathroom. Two other interviewees said they were once reading in the same garden and one of them came to see the other's title of the book and it was there where they made each other's acquaintance, and now they plan to get married. They added that it was reading which made them meet each other by coincidence and they, therefore, owe a great debt to it. Another interviewee was a taxi driver who said that he read everywhere he went, especially while waiting for the green light at the junction. In response to all these responses by the interviewees and 2M channel, I would say: Enough is enough to hypocrisy! These interviewees do not represent Moroccans, and they are not the ones to ask to see whether reading in Morocco is on the increase or not. I am certain that reading in Morocco is still in drastic decline, and very few people read. The elite few!
