None. I do not want books to expand my mind, I want them to focus it and sharpen it.

You must have read it in English. It's a vibrant work in Spanish.
Jason Harris
Not him but are there any English translations that capture that said vibrancy? Is Borges' original Spanish generally written in a vivid, vibrant manner?

Spanish is easy to get to a manageable proficiency level (60-80%). It would take you around one year of hard study or 2-3 years of deedicated but not hard study. To get to 100% fluency it's almost impossible though, verbs, conjugations and small details are shit.
That said, Cervantes is written in old spanish, which is pretty different, and Borges' vocabulary is incredibly expansive, but understandable

Define "hard study" as opposed to "dedicated but not hard study"
