Re: Lazy Saturday Open Thread (4.00 / 4)

Don't bother with Focault's Pendulum. It's a ghastly pointless book padded out with lists to make your eyes glaze.

It may be a very erudite and literate satire of the religious conspiracy genre but I think Eco forgot that books are meant to be read and enjoyed, not endured and ultimately hated.

Aaaaahh. Perhaps that explains why I have started it several times but never gotten very far.

Now where are we going and what's with the handbasket?
