World Book day!

Hi everyone!
Yesterday´s post was about Earth´s day and today´s one is about  book´s day.
23 April is a symbolic date for world literature, since 23 April 1616 was the date of death of Cervantes and Shakespeare.This is why this date was chosen to pay a worldwide tribute to books and their authors on this date, encouraging everyone, and in particular young people, to discover the pleasure of reading and to gain a renewed respect for the extraordinary contributions of those who have furthered the social and cultural progress of humanity.
The idea for this celebration originated in Catalonia (Spain) where it has become a tradition to give a rose as a gift for each book purchased. They celebrate Saint Jordi every year.The tradition is that women are given a rose and men are given a book.

There is a book fair in "Las Ramblas" and writers go there to sign books and have a chat with their readers while they promote their last novel.

•  And you? are you fond of reading? when was the last time you bought a book? what are you reading at the moment?

Do you prefer traditional books or e-books?

 Next post will be how to write/talk about a book, so.... don´t miss it!!!
