This is one of the books I read my senior year of high school which really turned me on to reading in general, and the short story in particular. Borges' short fiction is as near perfect, clever and imaginative as could possibly be; his realization of the impossibility of being unique in any true sense of the word is the source of this strength of a writer. I say this because since he takes that premise in hand, he has no fear as a writer tackling questions of infinity, eternal life, the meaning of dreams, etc.
A collection science fiction stories by author Stanley Weinbaum, 16 stories in all. Weinbaum died in 1934 so his stories reflect science fiction of that time. These are tales of exploration and living on planets within our solar system and obviously do not reflect our current state of knowledge of these planets. This does not prevent telling a good tale. This collection also includes several Haskel van Manderpootz (an arrogant genius) stories that are surprisingly good in the concepts they raise of what is reality? Note that this review actually reflects an omnibus collection of Weinbaum's works available at http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=52178
