This book is 110 page long existential crisis- in a good way! I think about it once a week, and has become my Roman Empire.

Blew threw this in an afternoon, but it left me utterly lost at just HOW vast Borges' Library of Babel would actually be. Great little intermission between PI.FYI BKCLB books.

This is 108 pages so like, reading slump breaker of chains. Anyway, this is great to read at the same time as someone else because it’s really fun to talk about all the hypotheticals that it leads to. My non-reader boyfriend read it in an hour and a half.
Click the link to take you to an online version of the library of babel (you’ll see.) Enjoy the existential crisis as you realize everything that’s been said or ever will be said has been written already.
He’s also making his own version of hell in video game format in the form of a rhythm game if anyone is interested in that after šŸ‘€

This world is a life sentence. I’m in a state of constant, low grade agitation. Crust gathered around my eyelids like dead weeds in the summer sun. I’m sitting in the line for the COSTCO gasoline station in Van Nuys, CA as I type this. It’s hot and stifling and the malformed waddler phenotype directly in front of me can’t for the life of her get her COSTCO card to read at the scanner. I’m seething, seething in my non-air conditioned 2005 Toyota Solara. It occurs to me that when the government decides to suspend the constitution & institute mass incarcerations, they won’t even need to erect FEMA camps. I’m thinking forced relocation of insurgent population to COSTCO’s around the country. it won’t even be forced. We’ll all just move in & relish the the opportunity to finally, holistically Live in Bulkā„¢ļø . In this moment, when being a total misanthrope comes as easily, as urgently as reaching for the glass of water on the floor next to the mattress (also on the floor), I can’t help but think to myself ā€œthe narrator from my year of rest & relaxation is literally meā€. Fun, easy breezy read. Made me lol a couple of times. Middle part drags a bit, but the ending’s brilliant. late to the party on this one, but glad I finally got around to it

Most effective when they’ve clearly done this before but still seem to be struggling

You don’t need to suffer to prove that you’re a good person. You don’t have to stay with the job that makes you question yourself and you don’t have to keep dating that person you’re not quite clicking with. If something feels off then it probably is. I’m not advocating for immediately abandoning your responsibilities and throwing caution to the wind; but in our hearts we know when something is working and when it isn’t.
That thing called intuition is your soul, and you can trust it.

If you’re unsure what something means, like, learn! Aquire full context of what words mean, because then you can improve your vocabulary, and know more!
Knowledge is power!!
