Reading responses about Circular Ruins and Library of Babel

Circular Ruins

This short story was so confused at first.Because it felt like there were so many dreams in this story.

But, I do not want to believe that the fate is limited like this book says. I  do not want to say that I am one of the 25 character.

This book also really reminds me parallel life. Parallel life means people live parallel life with someone just like they are in same book.Many people said Lincoln and Kennedy lived parallel life. There are few evidence that their life is amazingly similar. I thought  it is really interesting and in some aspect the theory is believable. However, I hope not. I think everyone deserve their
