May I give you my address so you can donate some to me? hahahaha There is one tradition here in Barcelona maybe you like to know about: "In spring you will be able to take part in one of the most original celebrations in Catalonia - Sant Jordi. It is a very traditional festivity that combines culture and romanticism. That day, on 23 April, according to tradition couples exchange gifts: a book for the men and a rose for the women. Book and flower stalls are set up along the streets of Barcelona. They fill will people walking around stalls, looking for a gift for their beloved, and for their family and friends, too. You will be able to find the latest publications, see well-known artists signing copies of their books, and of course, smell the scent of the roses"

.....like one from Edgar Allan Poe am I dreaming or what? really?
I try to keep all my books, even if I don´t like them (Dan Brown, E. L. James & Lucia Extebarria are my only 3 exceptions) but I understand there are preferences for so many reasons. Yeah I love to look around in those special mountains of old books usually on sale, old books no one wants, you may find treasures in there sometimes....
