Menard, the author of Quixote, another boring story from Borges. i really find it difficult to stay awake when i read these stories. this was especially lame because instead of a whole story there was an outline discussing what was different about the two works. Menard focused on not copying the older version of the story. that makes sense but really? who cares? I really can't stand having to read Borges. i don't know what it is about the writing exactly. it's probably because he automatically assumes we know everything. we don't, i think Borges is a bad writer because of this. you can't assume the reader knows everything you do. it's rediculous.
