Òscar and I took a walk on the Rambla de Catalunya and bought us some books to celebrate Sant Jordi. The titles we selected were Crònica de la independencia by Patrícia Gabancho and Twilight by Stephanie Meyer. Quick, can you guess which one was for him and which one was for me??

I also had ordered two books for us that I saw on The Colbert Report (which is my number one source for literary review). These were The Thirteen American Arguments by Howard Fineman and Society Without God by Phil Zuckerman.

But wait! There’s more. Last week Aunt Ruthie gave us a copy of A Prayer for Owen Meany” by John Irving. On top of that, a free copy of Michael Crichton’s Next (translated into Catalan…yay?) came with our copy of the “Avui” newspaper. So it looks like we’re set for reading material for a while. (Maggie, you are always welcome to send us your cast-offs…)

We had a new addition to our family this week when our TV died and we replaced it with this 32″ Sony Bravia. Rest in peace, Weltstar.

Snaps for my cousin Goldi who shared this link to the Facebook Haggadah by Carl Enkin. If you enjoyed the original haggadah and you have been sucked into the Facebook, you will likely get a kick out of the Facebook haggadah.

Further info on haggadot:

• What are they?
• Read about the Serajevo Haggadah saved from Nazi confiscation by some incredibly brave people.
• Images and history of the Barcelona Haggadah, one of the most beautifully illuminated versions ever found, now available for purchase in facsimile edition for a mere $4,810 (get yours quick! only 550 copies will be printed!).

Happy Passover to those who celebrate it. I hope that next year, we can celebrate it together!
