I do the same thing. It’s my most favourite story I’ve ever read. Endless in depth.
- perelin 4y agoYears after reading it first the thought came to me (probably read it somewhere) that the library is equal to π (pi) - never ending (somehow), never repeating. Its all in there. Strangely comforting: We have it already written out, just need to discover the important bits. Oh, and of course somebody made a website https://libraryofbabel.info/ https://libraryofbabel.info/
