Book Day

Today it's the World Book Day.
In choosing April 23 as World Book and Copyright Day, UNESCO drew inspiration from a Catalan tradition. On this day in Catalonia, numerous book fairs and street festivals are held and customers are offered a rose with every book they buy. By celebrating this Day throughout the world, UNESCO seeks to promote reading, publishing and the protection of intellectual property through copyright.

In Madrid, this day is celebrated with special events and bookstores are opened up till 12.00 am and offer 10%.

I might go and see Paul Auster's daughter reciting...
