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

r/LibraryofBabel

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.
