The Social Network

This is the movie I look forward to. It will be in theaters on 1 October.

Director of the film is David Fincher. Jesse Eisenberg plays Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook. Justin Timberlake is also in the cast.

I hope that this movie can give us some insight on the real deal behind the most popular social networking site in planet. I also don't like to watch a show of Mark Zuckerberg.

No trailer released yet, I will publish it when appears online as well.

By the way; Jesse Eisenberg is a brilliant choice to play Mark Zuckerberg, I look forward to seeing Zombieland 2 as well.

Temples of Knowledge by Ahmet Ertuğ

Ahmet Ertuğ is a name many Turks have no idea about. A simple man to many, some may remember his name from the walls of Hagia Sophia or Ephesus.

I don't know him in person. Never met him. But I am sure he is a man of fine taste. I saw the hardcover version of his great book Temples of Knowledge several months ago. A great work of art. A work of dedication. A photo book of historical libraries brought to life by a man who has an eye of an architecht.

I consider myself as a mild bibliophile. I was buying books with the money I got from my elderly on holy days. My book buying spree continues even today. I love looking into bookshops, especially when I am abroad. I had visited the university library continuously during my study. With all these in mind I fell in love with Ahemt Ertuğ's Temples of Knowledge.

The book contains some of the best photographs of Europe's historical libraries. From France to Germany, Italy to Portugal you can stroll through the finest libraries of Europe. The book is printed and binded in Italy and published only 400 copies. It is costly. You can enquire about the price from the home page of the book.

You can read more about Ahmet Ertuğ on his own webpage.

Top 25 Liveable Cities by Monocle

My favourite magazine Monocle made their yearly list of 25 liveable cities once again and this time Munich became the most liveable city of the world according to Monocle rankings.

Munich was fourth in 2009 and second in 2008.

Here is the list of 25 cities in order:

25- Lisbon

24- Hamburg

23- Kyoto

22- Portland (New Entry)

21- Singapore

20- Auckland

19- Montreal

18- Oslo

17- Barcelona

16- Vancouver

15- Geneva

14- Fukuoka

13- Honolulu

12- Sydney

11- Berlin

10- Madrid

09- Melbourne

08- Vienna

07- Paris

06- Stockholm

05- Helsinki

04- Tokyo

03- Zurich

02- Copenhagen

01- Munich

Zurich was the most liveable city of the world last year and Copenhagen followed it. Istanbul is not in the list as there are many things to do in this huge city before applying for a place in the top 25.
