I bought the complete Borges about two years ago and am just now really reading it. I read at least one story right before I go to sleep which makes for some interesting dreams. I have found myself skipping over the longer pieces because I don't have a good deal of time normally, and so I have read about half of the anthology, in no particular order. This has lead to a series of intertextualidades including the night when I read The Man on a Pink Corner and then the protagonist's view of it on the same night but from different books after some flipping of pages.

I am not sure if Borges himself would love or hate my approach.
