I would start with a simplier book by Borges, like "El informe de Brodie".
Everyone can read Borges -or any author- and in any language. But a very different thing is to understand it. Furthermore, you have choosen an author that it's difficult to understand even for well-cultured (is this ok?) natives. But it's an exciting goal! Good luck

Thank you Rusty! I'm glad to see you again. My English is rustier than ever.... nothing that can't be solved with a rusty nail, and Mr. Rusty at the screen!

¡Hola Ookami! (Y Rusty y todos los demás...)
Me encanta esta cita de Borges: "Dios mueve el jugador. Y este la pieza ¿Qué Dios detrás de Dios la trama empieza?" Y me alegro de ir pasándome por aquí, alguna que otra vez y encontrar "viejos" conocidos... Lo dicho, un saludo.

Hello JPablo! I'm also glad to see you again! I've been quite rude with you in the past... but you know... youth naivete.
That's one of the first poems I've memorize by reading it aloud over and over again. I find it so.. magnificent. Dios mueve al jugador, y éste, la pieza. ¿Qué Dios detrás de Dios la trama empieza de polvo y tiempo y sueño y agonía? Actually, that's a quite appropiate book to start reading Borges: "El Hacedor". It was my first Borges reading. It has short prose fragments, and some poetry.

Hello, Ookami!
Nice to get back in communication! And great that you have the right "quotation"... (not like me, forgetting the punctuation and so forth...) I've been pretty busy, so I've reduced my interventions around here, but I'll try to stay in touch... (and read some Borges in my spare time!) Take care!
