Favorite story by J.L.Borges?

[Kyriakos]

Since unfortunately i forgot to include him in the short story writers' poll, here is one purely about his work :)

The short stories/options are:

-The library of Babylon

-Funes

-Aleph

-The man in the doorstep

-The house of Asterios (i voted for it...)

-The book made of sand

-Other (please name)

Poll will be up in an infinite amount of infinitely small partitions of time :)

[Lokasenna]

Well, I've had to go for other - but in fact I can't decide between Pierre Menard, Author of the Quixote or Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius. Actually, I'm a bit surprised neither of them is on your list - they've both been considered by some to be his greatest masterpiece.

[Kyriakos]

I am now re-reading Uqbar, and it seems indeed to be very interesting. I do not remember the Pierre Menard one almost at all, but i only read fast the pieces the first time i read them, whereas the stories i now chose were re-read a few days ago :)

[Pierre Menard]

Impossible to choose.

Funes, Pierre Menard, The End, The Aleph and The South would be my top 5.

what about "the immortal"

[Charles Darnay]

Funes all the way. That story has had a profound effect on my reading/writing/obsession with the concept of memory in literature.
