Have you read Umberto Eco's The Name of the Rose, HF?

I have - and really enjoyed it - also read his 'Travels in hyperreality' after loads of articles and books kept citing it - but his essays are no where near as good as his fiction. Foucault's pendulum is nothing like 'The Name of the Rose' - it's giving me a damned headache... But a good one...

Tonight I am perusing Chinese: A Comprehensive Grammar trying to learn some more Mandarin to surprise my labmates with in the morning. :D
