They really are falling like flies... Legolas Send a noteboard - 22/02/2016 05:57:33 PM

I had somehow totally missed his last book - odd, after all the attention The Cemetery of Prague had gotten. Still, I guess it means there's a few Eco's left for me to read, so that's not a bad thing... as well as some of his non-fiction books - not the heavy scientific stuff necessarily, but things like his History of Beauty.

And I think we had already established some time ago that it was well past time for me to reread Name of the Rose. Though I'll pass on the Italian.
