Thanks for the recommendations, I'm a huge fan of Borges. However, 'The Wind Up Bird Chronicles' didn't fascinated me and it was somewhat a chore to finish it.

  Ah, shame! I haven't read it in several years. I have not found anything better then Borges. Actually, it's kind of annoying because somehow reading Borges appears to have become synonymous with pretentiousness, at least to my friends, and my earnest appeals to others to read his magnificent fiction have been poorly received. But he really is so damn good! Let me know if there's anything you'd recommend.

    I don't know if it really qualifies as magic realism but Gunter Grass is a very good writer that gives this weird fascinating vibe. 'The Tin Drum' and 'The Flounder' are very interesting books, highly recommend.
