Borges resources. From Abbasids to Zur Linde: A Borges Dictionary (pdf) ; Fantastic Zoology: a graphical interpretation of Borges' “Book of Imaginary Beings” (Edward Gorey would have been interesting); The Intruder: A Borges story in eight games.

You have to like borges, well you don't have to, but you should like his work nonetheless. He is one of several significant librarian/scholar/writers that worked around the late 19th and early to mid 20th century. Bataille is another one, who you also should read, if you haven't already, but read more than his erotica, his work against fascism is interesting.
