It was definitely difficult to limit this list to 10. It's great that the writings of Borges is so rich that there are so many possibilities for one's favorite story. @Luciano, thanks for the comment.

However, I can't help but be rather taken aback by the fact that The Congress is nowhere to be seen on the top ten list! It crowns my personal list of Borges favourites, closely followed by The Writing of the God and Undr.

"The Aleph" is integral to Tomas Eloy Martinez's "El Cantor de Tango."

Do re-read Circular Ruins. I'm going to take another look at Emma Zunz myself. Borges certainly requires multiple readings. Romi – thanks for your comment! Do re-read Circular Ruins.

I read The Circular Ruins when I was, I guess, too young, and didn't quite like it. Perhaps I should re-read it now, who knows, huh? Another story that caused extreme feelings in me was Emma Zunz, but these were of impotence and anger. Very interesting blog, I'll keep coming!
