Borges- Non-Fictions Reading #1

I thought that these readings were a little confusing.  The first one, I don't know who or what Hume is, so it made it difficult to grasp the importance.  In the second one, Narrative Art and Magic, it talks about the different rituals that some cultures took part in that may have been considered magic.  I think that it's interesting that people feel this way because it is only something that people do, and it's not always connected to religion.  Someone with OCD may also perform certain rituals, but it wouldn't be considered magic in their case.  I liked the third one because it was the easiest for me to understand; through the writing and because it's something that is easily relatable.  While reading, stories appear in other stories all the time, so it's a simple concept.
