I dislike Borges like you wouldn't believe, I'm argentinian and I firmly believe that he's our most overrated writer

Read more, Enrique Medina is far superior to Borges. Las Tumbas, Striptease and Las Muecas del Miedo are better than Borges' short stories. Borges is popular among angloniggers because he spent a lifetime tonguing the anglophere's dry butthole.

I think I've read ~20 of the Discworld books in like 18 years, will probably take me the same amount of time to finish the other half. I enjoy them but don't ever feel like chain reading Pratchett.
