u/xamueljones [+8] My arch-enemy is entropy (5 hours later)

I decided to buy and read the book because I love stories that involve the Library of Babel concept in one way or another.

It was well written and I personally enjoyed it, but I don't see how it's actually rationalist? The characters are vivid, but I don't see how anyone is behaving in a way that appears intelligent/rational to me.

u/None [+6] (8 hours later)

I thought the same

edit on further thought
