After reading your posts I feel smarter than if I had stayed at a Holiday Inn the night before!

Correct. Went through the Hermitage at about 20 mph. If I haven't told you the story, let me know. It's one for the ages.

Bought this years ago but still haven't gotten around to reading it. This is a good reminder!

I have it too, but to be honest..the names wear you down if you aren't fluent in Russian (I'm not) ..so I got it in audible. It was 45 hrs and 9 mins (for comparison War and Peace is 61 hrs and 6 mins) and while there wasn't much about the library, there was a lot about the reading of the residents.
