Remember, I've already read the following people a lot: Mario Vargas Llosa, Roberto Bolano, Isabel Allende, Gabriel Garcia Marquez. So, either recommend other authors, or only obscure works by those authors I listed.

Hispanic books are great.

Get on that Carlos Fuentes shit my lil nigga.
The Death of Artemio Cruz is a good starting point.
Terra Nostra will satisfy your need to read an XBOXHUEG book.

Allende is a dreadful writer, and García Márquez is one of the overrated authors of all time, whose only decent work is Autumn of the Patriarch. Cabrera Infante, Onetti, Sabato, Arreola, Mutis, Puig, Arlt and Pitol is where it's at.

I've written down several books from posts (although not all).

Why is this board so obssessed with Cortazar? What's so great about him?

It sure is.

I did cool off on him for a few months, after reading the garbage that is The Skating Rink and Monseiur Pain, but then Nazi Literature entertained me a lot. I'll probably get a few more books by him when they're out in paperback, like The Return and The Insufferable Gaucho. I still reread bits of 2666 from time to time.
