All buildings here in your posts have character. The library is amazing... your photos just augment the wonder. <br /><br />Perhaps one thing I can 'contribute' is to tell you what the books with the beautiful spines but which you could not read are about: Upper left is a set entitled "Dictionary of Buddhism". Lower left are various titles on Religions in China, including Daoism, Confucianism, Ethnic Religions, and Japanese Religions. Upper right section is History: European, Pacific War History, Japanese... and the bottom right are Japanese titles which I can't offer much help.Artihttp://rippleeffects.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-68638677017551855162011-09-28T21:42:28.860-04:002011-09-28T21:42:28.860-04:00Libraries are so splendid, aren't they -- and ...Libraries are so splendid, aren't they -- and this one is beautiful.

I have enjoyed my visit of the library at the prestigious O.S.U. -- When I look back at the Parisian college where I worked on my M.A. years ago (Institut d'Anglais Charles V, Paris 7) I can' t help but marvel at the sheer luxury and elegance of American college campuses! This is no doubt reflected in tuition, too ;-) -- On another note, just wanted you to know I have mentioned a recent story of yours in today's post. http://frenchgirlinseattle.blogspot.com/2011/09/paris-la-seine-runs-through-it.html -- Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)French Girl in Seattlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14347995356689205203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-71547508797712657662011-09-26T04:36:13.640-04:002011-09-26T04:36:13.640-04:00Well in spite of my institutional feelings against...Well in spite of my institutional feelings against OSU (not really, just kidding . . . I'm supposed to uphold the rivalry), the Thompson library is incredibly impressive. It makes me happy that they went to such lengths to preserve and enhance it. That top photo alone says so much. All of them show a stunning place designed with innovation. Even beautiful carpets to rest your feet on. Fabulous!<br /><br />But I wonder if the stacks still smell like I want a library to smell?Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-51690039035861770322011-09-26T02:43:06.489-04:002011-09-26T02:43:06.489-04:00Your husband can be very proud of your Part 1 and ...Your husband can be very proud of your Part 1 and 2 of this great university, Vagabonde. Even I can admit that, even though it's my arch rival...still to this day. Old rivalries never die. HA! That November football game between OSU and UM will probably be on TV in the Netherlands this year...the day after. And yes, I'll be watching it. I'll be hoping Brutus will NOT be a happy camper that day. :)Ginnie Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14014434422568561157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-64716116608848156212011-09-26T01:23:53.030-04:002011-09-26T01:23:53.030-04:00What a lovely library!

People line up outside the library before it opens in order to get on line, and then they have a time limit. I loved that floating staircase, so much of the beauty of a place like this is missed by the casual observer. That is certainly not YOU!
