Meet Jorge Luis Borges

August 24th was the birthday of Jorge Luis Borges. He was a prolific Argentinean writer. He died in 1986. If you are in college, you owe it to yourself to find out who he was. I would suggest starting with the Library of Babel. It is the story of an infinite library of books. The first book is all A's. The second book is all A's but one B. and so on. Such a library would eventually contain every book ever written, as well as every book that could be written. This is heavy stuff.
