I ♥ NYPL

I've fallen in love with the New York Public Library again. Their website has been hugely improved. you can browse their catalog, see thumbnails of the book cover, request a hold on a book and have it delivered to your local branch. It's like Amazon but free. Eastward to Tartary by Robert Kaplan is an excellent travelogue/reportage about the Balkans, Turkey, the Middle East and the Caucauses; the area of territory once governed by the Ottoman Empire. It was written in 1999, before Sept. 11th and before the 2nd Intifada, yet it's not dated because the book largely deals with the history that shapes and influences those countries today.

Hi. I'm a 32 year-old American currently living in Buenos Aires. Before that I lived in California, Sao Paulo and New York and if you browse through the archives below you can see photos of all those places. I also have an old geocities page with some outdated information but also more photos of Buenos Aires, friends and my 9/11 pictures.
