That's fine OP, you go ahead and enjoy bloated works like Siddhartha if that's where you're at in life.

Borges is too dry.

A diamond is drier than a glass of milk, but far brighter and sharper.
I get what you're saying though, and I don't agree with his absolutism about longer works. I could have spent more time in the world of >>7948386 for example. Borges' approach and his work is great too.

Even tiny 100 page books I can't finish in one sitting. Too difficult. Too weak.

To be fair, I was in solitary confinement in prison so there wasn't much to do except sit

Not to derail the thread, but you can't just put out some info like that and then not give deets. Why were you in solitary confinement? If you're crazy, did you identify with Don Quixote? What else did you read while in prison?

I had to read the first Foundation book by Asimov for a class in college and I read it in one sitting. It was probably only like 200 pages of one of those small paperbacks, but still.

i thought the point of the hot box was that you didn't get to bring stuff in
