What Members Thought
This wasn't an easy read for me. I needed our book club and some research to understand some of it but it gets better when chewed some more.

I enjoyed about half the stories: The Garden of Forking Paths; Funes, the Memorious; The Form of the Sword; Theme of the Traitor and Hero; Death and the Compass; The Secret Miracle; The End; The South. The other stories, not so much.
I read a selection of these stories for my World Literature course. Generally they were not to my taste. There was only one that I really liked.
