This was going to be my answer. Except we didn't even read it as a class. We were doing some other boring stuff and I was flipping randomly through our textbook, where I found it and read it. I still think about it, and sometimes use it in RPGs.
It would've also been super appropriate if I could never find it again in the textbook, but I can't remember if that's true.
Same! And as a matter of fact, I did go for years without finding it again before I came across this website. Borges makes the world a little more magical, obviously.
