Math at Project Gutenberg

Project Gutenberg has long had an interest in mathematics, perhaps because of its timelessness. This interest has been expressed in many ways, though perhaps some of them were misguided in retrospect. For example we published “texts” consisting of digits of π.

Writing celebration post for my High-Sci-Fantasy/Attempted comedy story🎉

I know it's not a big deal, but it feels big to me 😊

I like to start my chapters with a quote, I know it's not uncommon, but I was wondering what people think about it as a reader? 🤔
