Foucault's Pendulum, The Name of the Rose and The Mysterious Flame of Queen Loana.

I will admit this is mostly my fault- I was younger and a much more undisciplined reader when I tried Foucault, was reading something else at the time when I bought Name of the Rose and I couldn't make it past the lists in Loana. I want to read them, and honestly don't think I'd have a problem, except that I have a bit of a chip on my shoulder now about the tangents. I should probably try again. I mean, gees. I made it through James Fenimore Cooper.


I tried to read "The Name of the Rose" but couldn't make it more than a couple dozen pages. But then, I was only 14 or so at the time. I loved the movie, but I don't know if the movie's ending is much different from the books.
Death to the Regressives of the GOP and the TeaParty. No mercy for Conservatives. Burn them all at the stake for the hateful satanists they are.
