What's your favourite Borgesian story/poem?
Other than these:
Library of Babel
The Circular Ruins
Tlon, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius
Personal fave is Funes the Memorious. I don't know how to judge his poetry since Spanish is all Greek to me. But it seems okay, with a few metaphors and images standing out.

funes was great, one of my top ones too, OP
garden of forking paths was also pretty cool
Theologians.
The Immortal is one of my personal favorites. The moment when he finds out the troglodyte was Homer all along is the most Veeky Forumserary plot twist I've ever read.
Shakespeare's Memory
Bustos Domecq with Casares is full of laughs
The Lottery of Babylon deserves to be on that shortlist
Three Versions of Judas is powerful - I feel like Scorcese's The Last Temptation shows the same idea that, yeah it was hard to be Jesus - but it must have been REALLY hard to be Judas
I really liked The House of Asterion, because of the flipped perspective. The final line made me punch myself for not getting it earlier.
I didn't understand that one, sadly, since I am not Christian/didn't grow up in a Christian household/know nothing about Christian mythology/history.
Pierre Menard, The South, Borges and I

The wikipedia page explains it very concisely. Brilliant story. Enjoy.
