No problem! For Borges, try Death and the Compass, and for Cortázar, try...Autopista del Sur. Um. It might be translated as Motorcyclist from the South? Both gorgeous modern pieces, both short stories, and seriously amazing. I'm actually more of a fan of Marquez's short stories as well (though his novels are excellent), and my favorite is A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings (I'm pretty sure that's the translation in use). Un día de estos is very good as well, but I've never seen an English translation of it, whereas AVOMWEW is one of the most commonly translated even though it was only published in one printing of one book of short stories in Spanish. Funny, that.
