I'm not a huge James Joyce fan...

I have always imagined that heaven will be a kind of library (Jorge Luis Borges)

And I suspect it will look something like this:


This is the Real Gabinete Portugues De Leitura, Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, as pictured in 20 of the World's Most Beautiful Libraries. Neil Gaiman (yes, really) was kind enough to post a link to the article on Twitter with the tag "libraryporn." I believe I would actually weep if I was standing in some of the libraries pictured in the article.


Also, the fabulous and ridiculously funny Cake Wrecks did a feature recently on cakes inspired by books, which possibly equals the library porn post in awesomeness, albeit a different genre of awesomeness.
