I have found my personal Mecca - Selexyz Dominicanen
April 9th, 2008
Selexyz Dominicanen is the name of a bookstore in Holland that was created out of the dormant husk of a 13th century Dominican Church. Behold!
Truly I must voyage there and pay homage to the gods of the written word in this most holy of places.
Read a bit more about it in this Guardian article or see even more pictures…
Thanks Mojo!

Must… go… worship… books…
Unfortunately they’ll all be in Dutch, but it’s a small oversight.

Actually, the Guardian article says that they have a large selection of books in English, so…

I may have to find a way to incorporate that phrase into all of my comments from now on. Or cuss in Chinese.

Profanity in Chinese is welcome…

Let it be known, Chinese Characters are not supported in this version.
Kerri, you can always learn Dutch this year, and then make the pilgrimage to Mecca.
