What's your favorite Borges story, /lit/? I've always

>>9025586
Piggybacking your thread, what's a good starting point for his work? Any ideal order?

>>9025602
You can pretty much read whatever you like in whatever order. Chronologically, I think his first collection is "The Garden of Forking Paths."

I always loved Dreamtigers for the idea of a man crafting another from pure imagination. Borges and I, is also very good.

Library of Babel master race reporting in

>>9025602
Grab the collection called Labyrinths. It has a nice selection from his first two fiction collections (widely regarded as his best), as well as a few great essays (which are equally as, if not more, entertaining than his fiction).

The translation is also good I personally have no issues with Hurley's either but whatever.

I have a major soft spot for Tlon, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius, but I also love both The Mirror and The Mask, and Undr from The Book of Sand.

The Aleph, btw

>>9025737
His first collection is 'A History of Iniquity'
And I recommend reading him in Chronological order; just get his 'Collected Fictions' and start leafing through.

BTW my favourite is 'Circular Ruins'

Library of Babel, Funes the Memorious, The God's Script.
Basically the ones where Borges lets his imagination run wild instead of trying to forcefeed you how smart and well-read he is.

The one about gauchos and tigers and labyrinths and mirrors.

>The God's Script
