Top Ten Tuesday: Bookish Settings I’d Love to Visit
I’ve been to two of these locations (but only through reading about them since one is fictional and the other historical). However, the rest are real and remain in my mind's eye as places to travel to – but wherever I go, I try and stop in a bookstore or library while I’m visiting! What bookish places do you like to visit?
The Library of Babel, Jorge Luis Borges
The Last Bookstore, Los Angeles, California
Strahov Monastery, Prague, Czech Republic
State Law Library of Iowa, Des Moines, Iowa
Library of Alexandria
Library at Seikei University, Musashino, Japan
Shakespeare and Company, Paris, France
Zhongsuhge-Hangzhou bookstore, Hangzhou China
Copenhagen Library, Denmark
State Library Victoria, Melbourne

I have not been to any of the real present day destinations either. I must make it a point to visit these places if and when I ever get to their respective cities.
I wonder what the Library of Alexandria was really like.
Love your take on this week's topic! It would have been amazing to see what The Library of Alexandria was really like.

Brian,
Thanks. I guess we will always have to speculate about the loss of great books with the destruction of the Library of Alexandria.
IloveHeartlandX,
Thanks for sharing. The Library of Alexandria continues to tantalize us.
