i’m only joking, thanks everyone, even the lol answers. I should’ve bought it at the time.

as much as I tempted to say I’m not going to bother reading it now, I am

I reckon. My A-level English teacher gave us some Borges just after we started - which was when I got Labyrinths - along with If On a Winter’s Night a Traveller. The latter confused me no end the first time around.

OH MAN! Those mythical shorts!

That’s genuinely one of the best books that is.

By not being by Borges?

I’ve a feeling this is like not knowing camus or marquez (i.e. this is a book that everyone knows). I should’ve bought it at the time.

Could have phrased that a little better, but inserting Calvino just felt like showing off.

(It is this right? The Library of Babel - Wikipedia)

Just buy Labyrinths because it’s in that too and all the other stories are A***** including one about a man being shot but time freezes for about a year so he can finish a book he’s writing in his own head, then continue being shot.

I don’t remember it being a short story in a collection, but it must be it.

Here are two books to buy and read:
The Dumas Club - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dumas-Club-Arturo-Peréz-Reverte/dp/0099448599/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1476794160&sr=8-1&keywords=the+dumas+club
The Shadow of the Wind - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Shadow-Wind-Carlos-Ruiz-Zafon/dp/0753820250/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1476794234&sr=8-1&keywords=the+shadow+of+the+wind

Can’t believe there’s no Ebook of the Dumas Club. It’s great and way better than the film they made of it (The Ninth Gate).

You can read it online. It’ll take you five minutes to get to the end, six if you factor in a bit of head-scratching.

It turns out there’s been a copy of Labyrinth in our flat all along!
