Beauty is nothing, beauty won’t stay. You don’t know how lucky you are to be ugly, because if people like you, you know it’s for something else.
-- Charles Bukowski
(Bucharest, Romania)

O praeclaram supellectilem libroru *
Cicero
Oh, what fine furniture books are! *
The Athenaeum Club library.
The Athenaeum tends to attract the cream of the academic world (over 51 Nobel Prize winners) in literature and science.
The Pall Mall-based club was established in 1823 and is named after the ancient Roman Athenaeum, the centre for the study of literature and science.
Sir Charles Darwin used the Athenaeum to study in 1838. In one letter, dated August 9, he said: "I go and dine at the Athenaeum like a gentleman, or rather like a lord, for I am sure that the first evening I sat in that great drawing-room on the sofa by myself, I felt just like a duke. I am full of admiration for the Athenaeum, one meets so many people there that one likes to see … Your helping me into the Athenaeum has not been thrown away, and I enjoy it the more because I fully expected to detest it."
Breaking 150 years of tradition, the 2000 members of the gentleman's club for the 'intellectually elite' voted to allow women to become members in 2002. Baroness Susan Greenfield, professor of pharmacology at the University of Oxford, was the first woman invited and others have followed since.
Hands down one of the best libraries in club land. But they also have the most intrusive librarian with the beadiest eye to keep watch on you from her desk.

Oh, to travel back again North and haunt the aisles of the Providence Athenaeum with the shades of Edgar Allan Poe, Walt Whitman, and H.P. Lovecraft.

Pierrick Geais: Vilmos herceg – A trónörökös
↠ könyvajánló
Vilmos herceg – A trónörökös címmel jelent meg a francia újságíró, Pierrick Geais rövidke kötete a jelenlegi walesi hercegről. Tulajdonképpen ha nagyon röviden kellene jellemeznem a könyvet, akkor egy délutáni gyorstalpalónak mondanám a brit királyi család keménymagjáról.

Since Tumblr is being weird about me posting images...here is my IG post of my trip to the Boston Athenaeum! The marble statue of the young man reminded me of Adam and I saw some MStief while I was there
