How was the Eco?
hey hombre can i borrow thunderbolt kid?
Byron, the Eco was great. it was (like name of the rose) a good mix of a compelling, easy to read plot, and reflections on philosophy and religion, and full of obscure Latin quotes. i'll lend it to you if you like.
I have 'The island of the day before' sitting on my desk awaiting me. but i need to finish Foucault's pendulum first.
i've never been brave enough to approach foucault's pendulum, though perhaps one day i will sumon up the courage.
