A man finds himself in Hell's waiting room after dying in a car accident. Baffled, as he was convinced that he would be going to a heavenly afterlife due to his Mormon beliefs, he discovers that there is one true religion it just doesn't happen to be Mormonism (the reveal of the religion made me chuckle). He is then dispatched to a Hell that seems especially suited for him as someone who loved reading while alive. Based on Borges' story (CONT)

vivastory “Library of Babel“ we follow Soren Johanssen as he searches for the book in this sprawling library that will tell his life in minute detail., so that he can leave this unusual hell. The problem is that the library contains every book that has ever been written & that could ever possibly be written. I highly enjoyed this thoughtful, speculative novella. Audiobook narrated by Steven Peck. 15h

This whole description of academia (starting with that paragraph) was so accurate to my experience being in academia.

BarbaraBB Very curious about this one. 6d

Cathythoughts I‘m stacking 👍🏻 6d

JenP @BarbaraBB I‘m enjoying it but it‘s been a very slow read for me (probably partly due to Booker). I do find the insight she has about academia very spot on which is no surprise given her background. 5d

JenP @Cathythoughts I hope you like it! 5d

This one is a big fail for me, not holding my attention at all. It saddens me because I had high hopes for this one.

“We only need to get down.” One of them had to keep the cheer. One of them had to be delusional. This was the key to flourishing in graduate school. You could do anything if you were delusional.

Karisa Can‘t wait for my hold to come in on this one! I love her books! 3w

NotCool I wondered if this was a sequel. But it seems to be a new world and magic system. 3w

I love this newish trend to paint the edges of the paper. So beautiful!! But of course it says “Hell is Other People “! Ha! Don‘t we all know that? 😂

Karisa 😍 I‘ve been loving this trend too especially since it goes against the whole “turn the page sides outward instead of the spines” on the bookshelf thing 😅 4w

Texreader @Karisa Oh so true! 4w

TheBookHippie I love all the recent fancy books! 4w

AnnCrystal Loving the sprayed edges trend, hope it continues 👏🏼🤩🎨📚😍👍🏼. 4w

Still adding new and new-to-me books into my database. I thought Babel was awesome and I hope this one is too. The Poppy War though was only so-so to me.
