Libraries are sexi...

Recently, a friend was telling me that if she does ever decide to get married, she wants to get married in a big library because libraries are her equivalent of a cathedral. Now, this friend often says brilliant things, but this tidbit on wedding locations seemed particularly delicious. People get married in all kinds of lame places (beaches, prisons, bars), why not a gorgeous library surrounded by the great texts of our species? Libraries are locations of a particular kind of atemporality which seems particularly appropriate for a ceremony that is suppose to bind you to another for the rest of time.

And then I happened upon this post from The Nonist.
Libraries are hot. Prepare yourself for some hot hot smut...
