Celebrating UNESCO World Book Day and Spanish Language Day; the importance of reading and writing by hand.

Why are Book Day and Spanish Language Day celebrated on 23 April? Do you think it makes sense to celebrate Book Day today? Do you know of any other dates that celebrate the creative arts? Do you think we read more or less than we used to? Do you think we write more or less than we used to? What effects can reading have on people? Do you consider yourself a good reader? Will the physical books die out? What are the advantages of reading a physical and/or digital book? Do you think there is a link between reading, gender, age, and origin? Which book would you recommend and why? What effects can handwriting have on people? Do you consider yourself a good writer? Will paper and pen die out? What are the advantages of writing by hand on paper and/or digitally? Do you think there is a link between writing, gender, age, and origin?
