Regarding Borges, every one of his short stories is great, and I envy you getting to read them all for the first time. They're bundled in two collections (Ficciones and El Aleph). Both are amazing.
If I had to recommend just a few... Gah!
I guess Funes the Memorious; The Garden of Forking Paths; The Library of Babel; Tlon, Uqbar, Orbiis Tertius. Impossible. I'll end up listing all of them. The Theme of the Hero and the Traitor.
I mean, Borges is just amazing. He's like Michael Chabon: passionately in love with speculative fiction (Verne, Lovecraft, Poe, etc.) and popular entertainment, but still a Serious Artist in terms of craftsmanship. But he doesn't have the Serious Fiction Writer’s need to be depressing like Chabon sometimes does. A somewhat more literary PKD, but not drug-induced: you can enjoy his stories as spec fic stories while also feeling like you're reading important literature.
I completly forgot about Machinarium, which I absolutly love. So thats something newer than Riven, but Machinarium while I consider a near perfect point and click game, to be what it is, heart warming and endearing, it can't use a dark pallet to tell its story. So its kind of a limited spectrum narrative, that and you can only get so deep with a none verbal game...
Regarding Borges, I'll check him out, any works of his you would consider a seminal piece?
Anyway, so glad to hear that you enjoyed the game -- especially knowing that you're an old schooler for who uses "since Riven" as opposed to "since first season of The Walking Dead" as a measure of time. :D
