I know that everyone out there needs to find a diet that works for them - when you find that diet you will achieve your goals. But don't cut down what many people have found to be a good one. For ...

Labyrinths: Selected Stories & Other Writings (New Directions Paperbook)42 reviews
Jorge Luis Borges
New Directions, 2007
Some of the Best English Translations of His Work
I speak both Spanish and English (and lived Argentina) and I can say that these English translations, particularly those of Yates, are some of the best I have come across. (Yates was Borges's first English translator and the translator of another remarkable but little known Argentine writer, Edgar Brau.) Yates stays true to the original, gracefully rendering the complex subtleties of Borges's ...

Outstanding Read, Produce Monster Plants
I went from a solo plant, maybe an oz harvest last year, to a harvest I can't even mention on here this year. I bought this book in January and read it cover to cover, what I learned has changed my technique, my appreciation, and my SUCCESS RATE!!!!!!! Cop the DVD's too, you won't be able to watch em just once, I guarantee. Buy this book, learn something, and enjoy a great harvest.

Borges: Collected Fictions67 reviews
Jorge Luis Borges
Penguin (Non-Classics), 1999
A book you and your doppelganger will both enjoy
There are works of fiction that change the way you look at life, and then there is the work of Jorge Luis Borges, which just might alter the way you look at everything, including yourself. The best way to explain Jorge Luis Borges is to compare him to painters - if you combined Picasso, Dali and Escher's imaginations into a writer, you would have Borges. His visions of doppelgangers, puzzles, ...

The Broken Spears: The Aztec Account of the Conquest of Mexico24 reviews
Miguel Leon-Portillo
Beacon Press, 2007
Exceedingly Sweet action!!!
I got this book because I find pre-columbian Mesoamerica fascinating, and I also enjoy the vivid clash of cultures which occured when the Spaniards arrived there. This book describes the conflict between the Aztecs and Spaniards superbly! This book is somewhat unique among histories because it takes the point of view of the vanquished rather than the victors. It starts from before the Spaniards ...

8 Minutes in the Morning: A Simple Way to Shed up to 2 Pounds a Week Guaranteed225 reviews
Jorge Cruise, Anthony Robbins
Collins Living, 2003
The Best Look at How to Loose Weight
I'm not going to rave completely about this book, but it is simply the best and most complete method of how to loose weight and keep it off. It is aimed at women more than men, but the things in the book are effective for men as well. He explains how the body works, which gives you better insight on why we eat what we eat in order to loose weight. It explains that carbs are just as important as ...

Borges and the Eternal Orangutans9 reviews
Luis Fernando Verissimo, Margaret Jull Costa
New Directions Publishing Corporation, 2005
Absolutely unique
It is hard to try an capture in a few pages any portion of Borges' personality, but Verissimo manages to do just that, and in what way! The book starts simply enough, with the possibility of attending an Edgar Allan Poe conference and maybe seeing his ultimate idol; Jorge Luis Borges, the blind Argentinean writer/mythologist supremo.
The book ends up as a supposed murder mystery; an academic, ...

The Invention of Morel (New York Review Books Classics)13 reviews
Adolfo Bioy Casares
NYRB Classics, 2003
The Ghost of Lulu
The cover picture and the blurb on the back indicate that Louise Brooks had something to do with it all....And so, knowing this, I brought what I knew of LB to my reading of 'The Invention of Morel'. As a result, I don't find fault with the character development (as other reviews here do) - why should I? This tale is about the elusive nature of beauty, the mystery of cinema, the hard to pin down ...

Piled Higher and Deeper: A Graduate Student Comic Strip Collection54 reviews
Jorge Cham
Piled Higher & Deeper Pub, 2002
NOT satire!
Before I was in grad school, I thought PhDcomics is satire and supposed to be funny. Far from it. PhDcomics is dead on accurate. This is what grad school is like. Hell, I could be featuring in most of these comics. So don't be confused. Some of the reviewers say that they didn't laugh. That's not the point. This is what graduate school is like. Almost invariably.

Ficciones (English Translation)69 reviews
Jorge Luis Borges
Grove Press, 1994
Borges is the original Neo (The Matrix)
Transport the Wachowski brothers to the 1930's and ask them to express their philosophy by way of short stories. You might get something in the same ballpark as Ficciones. The diversity and genius of Borges' work is so unique that if you were to know all the languages in the world and had no word limit, it would still be hard to do a review that does justice. Ironically, this is exactly the kind ...
