Last week we talked about accessibility in regards to literature and if books should be less accessible to be effective.

A Random Walk with Serendip
Randomness is cool and interesting... and randomness can be important too, from biological diversity to artistic innovation. Here, have fun with 10 random pages from Serendip.
