I enjoyed 'The Name of the Rose' and 'Baudolino', but - regrettably - gave up a few pages into Foucault's Pendulum (may be the right time to pull it off the shelf again). RIP Umberto Eco. _________________________ Exegi monumentum aere perennius regalique situ pyramidum altius - and that was before breakfast!
