The Library of Babel is a short story that gives Jorge Luis Borge's thoughts on the universe. The Library is a large one, made up of hexagonal sections, each containing shelves filled with books containing every book possible. The library contains any and all information one could think of, including all possible variances for a given book. However, it is too much information, so much that those trying to read and understand them are driven to suicide. The Library was a good metaphor for the universe, but Borge could've developed some of his points better. It would've made understanding his logic easier. Still, an interesting short story that makes you wonder...
