And one more -- though this one is in español:

According to El Pais (one of the two major newspapers in Spain):

"Los niños y jóvenes adictos a Internet son los que más libros leen, los que más van a las bibliotecas; los blogueros usan un léxico más rico que el de muchos ensayos e informativos de radio y televisión. Dos afirmaciones contrarias a los anuncios apocalípticos que han acompañado desde su nacimiento a este avance tecnológico que rompió barreras en el tiempo y el espacio."

To translate (more or less):

"The children and teens who are addicted to the Internet are those that read the most books, those that go to the library the most. The bloggers use a language that is more rich than that of many essays and reports on the radio and on Television. These two affirmations are contrary to the apocalyptic predictions that have accompanied the birth of these technological advances that break barriers of time and space. "

Thanks to Literatura infantil y juvenil actual for the link*!

And while we're on the subject of Spain -- for your viewing pleasure (and because I can't bring myself to write two entries in a row without pictures): my favorite city in the whole world...

¡Cadíz!

*And if any of you know of any Spanish blogs on children's or YA lit, can you let me know in the comments?
