Completed this book so that Daanish Chaudry would stop harrassing me about how slow I’ve been reading. He is unemployed.

Severely underrepresented short fiction writer, the GOAT

I was super into this at first, prepared to give it 5 stars and then some, but wow did it get monotonous in a hurry. After the first couple stories, the next 20 or so are about as same-y as it gets.

Of course, who am I to criticize Borges? My abrupt disinterest is probably more my fault than his. But still, woof.

Yeah... can only take so much of this type of story telling. Interesting but taxating, incoherent and repetitive at times. Stopped after Warrior and Captive.

Doctor Who visits Argentina

The TARDIS appears in a wheat Farm. Doctor Who and his hot assistant come out of it. "But what are doing in Argentina?"

Doctor replies"I lost my Sonic screwdriver was lost in labyrinths of time." and becomes quit as if the explanation is enough.

Impatient she tries again, "So, how do you know it is to be found in Argentina of 70s?"

"I don't where my screwdriver is. I can't find a thing in labyrinths of time, it is labyrinths of time for goodness sake. Only one person is genius enough to be able to find his way through them."

"Who?"

"What do you mean by 'Who'? I said labrynths!"

I did not get it. I cannot explain it. It's one of my favorite things I've ever read.
