This is not strictly classical, but I have a serious case of invidia bibliothecae for internet entrepreneur Jay Walker&#8217;s personal library:
Nothing quite prepares you for the culture shock of Jay Walker&#8217;s library. You exit the austere parlor of his New England home and pass through a hallway into the bibliographic equivalent of a Disney ride. [...]]]></description>

As it happened, our two-week visit to Turkey afforded a perfect moment to indulge our Homeric idÃ©e fixe. The trek north on Turkeyâ€™s west coast permitted a brief Trojan fly-by during the drive from Pergamum [...]]]></description>
