Favorite Borges story?

[pscot]

The Garden of Forking Paths & The Quixote of Pierre Menard are both wonderful and strange, but {i]Funes the Memoriousis the one I think of (I won't say remember) most often.

[Sal Minella]

1. The Library of Babel and The Circular Ruin are titles I remember

but haven't read Borges for many years -- what I read back then became an organic part of mental processes since. Funes the Memorious I do remember, in his darkened room, trying to avoid more memories.

2. I guess he was kind of a '60's vogue

3. The Circular Ruins was always my favorite...

but for some reason, I've been thinking about Tlon, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius recently.

4. The Aleph.

5. Shout Out To My Peeps; Borges, Kafka & The Kindle

I don't know what I clicked on to get here, but I'm sure glad I found this forum--even though I had expected to return to the general discussion on the presidency.

I've read just enough Borges to have decided to take him on after I have finished reading Kafka's short stories and fragments in my study of modern fabulists. Don't get me wrong, I'm no academic. I hate to read works of art under deadlines.

Does anyone here own a Kindle?

6. My favorite is 'The Best of Both Worlds, Part I'

Oh wait a minute... Borges. Got it.


Then my two picks would be The Immortal and Funes the Memorious.
