House of Books


I just got back from my third visit to the land of the Pyramids and my favorite Bibliotheca Alexandrina in Alexandria, Egypt. Home to a lot of books, to say the least!

  2. Tell me about it Shalom!

    They are also currently working on the world's largest internet archive of information...I am not quite sure how/what it's all about but I saw the computer room for it which was a huge hall with lots of servers and harddiscs...imagine doing research there! :)

  4. Missed all of you too Moi!

    I have been around watching but D Reb has held the fort for me while I was swamped with new good but dramatic life changes. I can't believe 2008 is over...I was just doing Best of 2007 it seems...and now it's time for GT's best of 2008!!!! Yikes!

    Love this place :)
