[Fantasy] One of the most important short stories ever imo. The best of borges, using fiction to philosophically analyse the ideas of infinity and reality.

Strongly recommend giving this a go. Or read it if you don't like the audio version.

Thank you! I've never actually read the library of babel, interesting read. I would guess lots people know the idea behind library of babel but few have read it.

Yeah that's what I thought too. The idea is very famous in itself
