I want to read books similar to reading Jorge Luis Borges – I want to feel like I’m approaching some hidden knowledge of the universe and to feel sucked into a slightly odd but beautiful and mysterious worldview.
I’ve never read Borges (he’s on my list), but have you read any Italo Calvino?

{{The Weird, by VanDerMeer}} should give you nice selection of authors.

I know this will seem weird, but the Grant Morrison run on Doom Patrol was directly inspired by Borges, among other influences.

You might enjoy Ted Chiang’s short story collections. Exhalation is his second one and has more Borges-like stories I think. Story of your Life is the first and also excellent
