Favorite Borges story?

I love "The Other." Such an interesting story, and I think it's one of Borges' best in terms of pure prose style.

How do you know he didn't read it in Spanish?

Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius:
I bought Ficciones purely for this story and wasn't disappointed, read through it with a grin on my face. The concepts explored are just so fun.

La Casa de Asterión:
Hit me right in the existencialist feels.
