Anyone else excited to watch tonight's première of The Great American Read on PBS? The series "celebrates the power, passion and joy of reading through the lens of America's 100 best-loved books as chosen by the public." The list is included on the PBS website. I've read only 54/100 -- I'd better get busy!

Le Château de Chambord, built during the Renaissance (1519-1547) as a hunting lodge for King François 1er, is the largest château in the Loire Valley (440 rooms, 282 fireplaces, and 84 staircases). Its distinctive architecture includes a roofscape of chimneys and turrets designed to resemble the skyline of Paris (so that ladies of the court could feel less removed from town) and the famous double-helix staircase attributed to Leonardo da Vinci.
