lightcastleTomorrow, as you all know, is St George's Day. And, of course, Shakespeare's deathday. And, of course, Cervantes' deathday. Therefore, it is the international day of the book. In Barcelona, it is el dia de la rosa et del llibre - the Day of the Rose and the Book.
It is traditional to give a book and a rose to your loved ones. ("A rose for love and a book forever".) Please ignore the sexist origins, where the gifts were gendered, and just give both to everyone, since I cannot.
