Jane Austen. She’s like, the most beautiful fucking person. And super smart. I can’t believe there is someone who can write like that. Someone who can write, is charming, and beautifully, and witty, and also has a vagina. It’s divine

I recommend reading Borges. His "Collected Fictions" are available from Penguin in one massive volume. Also Cortazar's "Hopscotch". Also Macedonio Fernandez's "The Museum of Eterna's Novel." That's my two cents.

Not true for all of his novels but this one, by the time you got to the Jason chapter, it had that feeling like all the puzzle pieces fitting together rather intricately
