r/LibraryofBabel↗

I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of Library.

Post random strings of letters, copypasta from around the internet, write as if it's your diary. However you choose to approach this experiment will be the correct way. For a greater understanding of the purpose of this subreddit you can read The library of babel by J. L. Borges. In essence, this is a futile attempt to recreate the Library in its infinity. A place where all text is possible. Spelling errors welcome. Crossposts encouraged.
