THE READING
ROOM

A library built for people who distrust official stories and people who distrust viral stories—and especially for the days when you are both. Read the claim. Find its oldest reachable source. Mark what changed in transit.

Inclusion is not endorsement. Every shelf names its evidence class and its failure mode. Books supply questions; records support bounded claims; neither earns immunity from correction.
