You'd probably enjoy adding a book I once found: the entire thing was written in emoji. I don't recall any details about title or author, but the story started with a man getting up our of bed and making breakfast. It was intriguing how legible it was.

Book From The Ground by Xu Bing. Does that sound familiar to you? According to the web site when I typed "book written in emojis", information and pictures about this book and its author came up, as well as info about various museums around different regions hat have his work.

Yeah, actually! That looks very similar to what I remember. Great find!

Apparently the author has also written a book of illegible Chinese characters that no one can read. Which sounds counterproductive.

I would LOVE to get that book. :) I'll look for that book online. If I find it, I'll post about it in this awesome subreddit. :) I have to go look in my physical book library for some of the books I have that I described in the post, so I can edit the post for everyone. :) lol
