The Reading Room · the books, opened in the museum

The Reading Room

TL;DRRead the house's books in the museum: every borrowed-author joke edition and original .epub, opened in a built-in reader.

Every book the house wrote — the borrowed-author joke editions and the originals — read right here, no download. A tiny reader unzips each .epub in your browser; nothing is sent anywhere. Prefer the file? Each card keeps a download link too.

Released to the world on Father’s Day, 2026 — for John H. McKendry Jr., who taught me the record makes the argument.

🦖 the whole museum · one book · the T-Rex edition

Download all — the entire site as one ePub

Every published page, swept and bound into a single book, rebuilt live from the museum exactly as it stands right now. Generated on your device with no library and no server — nothing is sent anywhere. Even if you never play a round, it reads like a graphic novel of the whole house.

A small file, and not a trick. No email gate, no sign-up, no tracking — the button builds the book on your own device and nothing phones home. Prefer plain files? Download the shelf as one zip — all 22 works, 0.2 MB total, smaller than a single photo. Yours to keep, copy, and hand to a roomie; the works are public domain and the library never asks who you are.

The edition number is π, and it grows: your first pull is 3.14, and every fresh pull adds one more digit — but only once a day, or whenever the museum actually changes. The longest π is the long game. Whoever carries it longest wins. The counter lives on your device alone — no account, no tracking, just you against the decimals.
