I nearly forgot one other book you should read: The Life and Times of Michael K, by J.M. Coetzee. Not only because it shares your namesake, but because it's a lovely tale of an outsider in a time of crisis.

Ficciones is the collection of all of Borges fictions—there are smaller books you could start with, Labyrinths most notably, but worth getting the complete collection. The poetry and nonfiction collections are only interesting to serious Borges scholars.
