a whiff of old books, a hush, a pensive air...





















Sometimes it seems that the aim of modernity is to flush the romance out of life. the library, with its Daedalian labyrinth, mysteroius hush, and faintly ominous aroma of knowledge, has been replaced by the computer's cheap glow, pesky chirp, and data spillage.

- P.J. O'Rourke

How bizarre and sad of you to feel compelled to post this. And spineless to boot, to insult anonymously.
