Question The love of reading
"El amor a la lectura" or "El amor por la lectura"?

Maybe this is more a question for the section on words, expressions and cliches... Nonetheless, given that it is a "cultural" topic I just place it here.

Which one is the most used Spanish expression?
Or is there many other options?

¿El placer de leer?
¿La bibliofilia?
¿La filología?
¿El amor a los libros?

How is that love rekindled? How does it start?

By the way, I would say love for reading. I don't know if I am correct.

Mmm... for whatever is worth a google search gives (without going into an accurate counting)
285,000 for "love for reading" and
1,570,000 for "love of reading".

"El amor a la lectura" 2,900,000
"El amor por la lectura" 317,000.

But regardless of that, what is your personal opinion?
What is your take?

para mi es "el amor por la lectura" incluso hay un libro de Virginia Woolf titulado asi, y es mi primera opción. "El amor a la lectura" lo entendería, pero no lo usaría.

A o por, sin predilecciones personales. Pero creo que la preposición "a" le otorga cualidades humanas: amar algo/amar a alguien.

Ha mencionado "de" porque fue la primera opción que se me ocurrió. Pero tiene una desventaja, que aunque el sentido común no lo permite la sintaxis sí permite entenderlo como un genitivo subjetivo (que es la lectura la que ama).
