So last year when I was in Ireland I visited Trinity College Library in Dublin. While there I saw the Book of Kells and the Long Room.

Oh the Long Room. This place is clearly the inspiration for the Jedi Archives in Episode II: A Horrible, Horrible Movie.

I totally geeked out when I was there — and not just because of the Star Wars thing (although that was pretty huge). But man is this place a real library. The kind you can sink into.

Unfortunately I have no pictures of it, because pictures were not allowed.

But it was BRILLIANT.
