...and I am sort of glad that I had not heard about it until now and not read it at a younger age, because I don't think I would have been able to appreciate it as much as I did.
But what an absolutely amazing book. Without a doubt the most fantastic and perfect work of fiction I have ever read.

I haven't read Borges yet. I've bought his novels on Dante (in French), but I've just begun the Sound & the Fury. Next week maybe.
