On Libraries


So Wired has put out a list of The Top Ten Most Beautiful Libraries On Earth.  This list, like all top ten lists, is entirely subjective.  These are only beautiful if you like ultra-modern design.  Personally, I do not.  I mean the Yangzhou Zhangshuge bookstore in Zhen Yuan, China is remarkable, but the rest are flat out ugly in my eyes.

Did I mention that we have a library card again?

This list, complied by Mental Floss, is much more to my taste.  I wanted to pull out my top 10, but I just couldn't decide.  Although even they managed to miss the Peabody Library at Johns Hopkins.


I don't know how they managed to miss that.
