Tucked away in an obscure street in Mandaluyong, Galileo Enoteca is anything but your hole-in-the-wall diner. Its location apparently has not posed a problem for its well-heeled clientele. The wine library has been fully booked for dinner since it opened in September 2005.

It�s perhaps tempting for most people to skip the Classics section of their neighborhood bookstore. After all, that�s where all the books you were ever required to do reports on in school sit. But here�s a plea from a bookworm who nevertheless admits to getting easily bored by boring books�stay! Browse the Classics.
