I also like "The Circular Ruins," "Funes the Memorius," "Death and the Compass," "Three versions of Judas," and "The Immortal." Most Borges collections will have these in it, the copy I'm working out of I got for a dollar on campus. It's a collection of his Ficciones, short essays, and "parables." You can borrow it if you don't mind the markings I made all over the text.

I also read a work of his in Spanish, but I forget which it was. I did enjoy him though (IIRC we both wrote on him for the final paper).
