5 good reasons to (re)go to Dublin #3

To become a bookworm

You just have to smell the smell of the library of Trinity College (www.tcd.ie) in Dublin to make you want to abandon your tablet (for a while). The fun continues in the old Sweny's Pharmacy (www.sweny.ie), frozen in time, where books have replaced prescriptions and medicines. Enthusiasts of James Joyce, retirees organize there readings aloud of "Ulysses" - the hero bought a lemon soap in these walls. I also read a passage in French. A fun time. Another favourite, the Little Museum of Dublin (www.littlemuseum.ie) which traces the history of the city using everyday objects from Dubliners. On the top floor, a room is devoted to the legendary Irish group U2. We inevitably leave with "With or Without You" in mind.
