>>	Anonymous Thu Feb 16 11:33:55 2023 No.21666515 >>21666479 I don't really like Borges and I don't think i read all the stories in that book, but the minotaur one.

>>	Anonymous Thu Feb 16 12:41:25 2023 No.21666659 I think if i had discovered him accidentally i might have appreciated it more but with how overrated he is i just cant enjoy the stories. they seem mediocre, low-rent lovecraft.

>>	Anonymous Thu Feb 16 12:43:00 2023 No.21666664 the only borges i read is that short story about the infinite book or whatever. it was ok, but didn't blow my mind. better than joyce's shorts, but not even close to kafka. then again, it was the only one i read so maybe he has better shit.

>>	Anonymous Thu Feb 16 18:43:06 2023 No.21667850 >>21667401 not an argument. his writing isn't interesting. there's no lovecraftian mystique or kafkaesque intrigue. it's just all: there was thing, it was kind of a queer thing, this thing. then the thing did another thing. the end

>>	Anonymous Thu Feb 16 18:45:17 2023 No.21667856 It's super short and maybe not the most memorable, but I always get a kick out of "The Two Kings and the Two Labyrinths" whenever I reread it.

>>	Anonymous Thu Feb 16 19:19:04 2023 No.21667975 >>21667970 yeah but then niggerman comes to save them at the end, a key feature missing from borges.

>>	Anonymous Thu Feb 16 19:39:04 2023 No.21668054 >>21666479 Averroes Search, because Tlon is peak JLB, and that one comes closest. A lovely, elegant joke and a sweet hearted tribute to those thinkers. The Immortal also good. The Borges that contains all Borges.
