    There's a hidden Shakespeare and Cervantes in all of us. 
Keep reading! It's food for thought!

  1. Here you go the fantastic recipe for a cold soup by William Shakespeare:

    Macbeth Act 4, Scene 1
    A cavern, in the middle, a couldrum boiling

    [...]

    All: Double, double toil and trouble;
    Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.

    2nd Witch: Fillet of a fenny snake,
    In the cauldron boil and bake;
    Eye of newt and toe of frog,
    Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
    Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting,
    Lizard's leg and owlet's wing,
    For a charm of powerful trouble,
    Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.

    All: Double, double toil and trouble;
    Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.

    [...]

      My resolution for 2016 is that I'll read more books this year (than I read in 2015).

  3. Y así reza la segunda frase de la famosa obra de Cervantes "El ingenioso hidalgo Don Quijote de la Mancha":

    [...] Una olla de algo más vaca que carnero, salpicón las más noches, duelos y quebrantos los sábados, lentejas los viernes, algún palomino de añadidura los domingos, consumían las tres partes de su hacienda.[...]

  4. Hi guys! In Italy, 23th April is celebrated "The day of the book". I really like reading, especially love books. I think it's an excellent idea a party to celebrate books that help us to learn new things.

  6. Hello! I'm Pamela Nico. I think that this day is very important because it aims to encourage people to read, especially those people who have never read a book.

    1. Hi Virginia,
      yes it is but only in Catalonia. St George is the Patron Saint of Catalonia, so they celebrate St. George's Day as a big day.
      In the rest of Spain is not such a common costum.

      Cheers
