Just finished The Name of the Rose and wondered if anybody wanted to stop cyclically navel gazing over Turgenev, Pynchon and DFW and have a discussion on the late great Umberto Eco.

Logan Ross

Nathaniel Phillips

Eli Jenkins

Hunter Hall

Charles Garcia

Gogol is much more enjoyable than the trite christposting of those two.
Hunter Long
I guess not OP

I can't stop navel gazing for too long, there's a Sean Connery film on about a monk's protege creaming inside of one of the young savage girls.

I'm about 2/3 of the way through , and I'm finding it to be a very comfy, enjoyable read. Especially as someone who once studied Scholastic philosophy intensely, it's just fun.
If you happen to enjoy the elements of Scholastic philosophy found throughout, you should check out Eifelheim. Sure, it's dirty genre fiction but what's not to love about a Catholic priest trying to understand FTL using his knowledge of Aristotle and Augustine?
Christian Miller
it was fun but now that he's dead everybody's going to read him
Brayden Bell
i have a copy of Baudolino on my shelf.
worth a read?
Jackson Young
Very much! It's more quixotic adventure than Name Of The Rose, highly enjoyable
dat disguised Wittgenstein quote in Name Of The Rose
I've been reading Eco's essays and they're very much hit and miss, lots of stuff on 80s Italy I really don't care about.
Nevertheless, the only Eco I'd stay clear of is Mysterious Flame Of Queen Loanna, it's Eco being nostalgic about his youth, no-one needs that.
Nolan Miller
Thanks, appreciated.
