       It was only a matter of computing power and time before someone would try to (re)create what Jorge Luis Borges imagined in his story, 'The Library of Babel' (read it in his Collected Fictions -- since, of course, you should read his collected fiction), and Jonathan Basile has had a pretty good go at it, with libraryofbabel.info.
       Overview-articles have been appearing all over -- check out those at Slate, The Guardian, and The Independent -- but the site is fun to check out as well. That said, it does take quite a bit (a near infinite amount of time, probably ...) of shelf-browsing to stumble across anything that is ... readable.
