If you like Borges, you might like Italo Calvino. The short story collections Cosmicomics, Numbers in the Dark, and t zero might remind you most of Borges, though my favorites are the novels The Baron in the Trees and If on a Winter's Night a Traveller.

Checked out that link and read a bit of Cosmicomics. It seemed very much up my alley and I already have ordered it.

Thanks.

Always good to hear Calvino getting some love. The guy was a fantastic writer. Cosmicomics was tremendously imaginative and fun.
