Wow, 9! I count only 4 for me. That is impressive!

LOL...I don't know about impressive...I think it indicates that I probably spend too much time touring libraries...rather that reading!

Four is pretty good though! Of the four, which one is your favorite?

The reading probably comes between the touring.

The Long Room in Dublin, for sure. How about you?

OK...this is going to sound like a line, but yeah, that was mine too.

Although I have to say that the U.Chicago one is cool too, and a lot closer!

Love this, it looks comfortingly familiar

Wow! I've been to 9 of them. Now that I have a list! I know which ones I need to go to. I might go back to some others, to get the proper appreciation...maybe especially the ones in Europe!

maybe especially!!! Hi Sailerman :kiss:

(I'd agree on the Long Room too).

We could all go together...

Do we have to do the Book of Kells though? I've been twice...yes, it's impressive, but I'm usually frustrated...I want to leaf through it...
I don't think they will let me.

They're total meanies, those preservation people...

You wait outside whilst I have another peek. Although I agree on the frustrating thing, I still love seeing it.

I know...sheesh...

OK, well, if you're going to peek, I'll peek too...while you're peeking.

You know, it's kind of dark in that room. :devil:

Oh, but it's so beautiful, how could you not say it?

I still really love the reading room at NYC/Bryant Park, too.
