Re: Have you read Eco? BlackAdder Send a noteboard - 23/09/2010 11:27:20 PM
That Jehoshaphat sounds like a nice fellow. I'd be interested in some good mystery books, or really anything that makes me think when I'm reading.


Because Foucault's Pendulum sounds good for that. Not true "mystery", but definite thinking.

I've heard a lot of good things about Eco but unfortunately haven't read his works yet. So thank you, I shall take a look.
