What do you think about Eco?

one of the GOATs

was really hoping he'd nab a nobel :|

I think the only reason he wrote was to show off,
he's unbearable.

>he wrote to show off
be that as it may, the books were generally quite a ride.

>it's the "everyone whos smarter than me is pretentious" argument

sorry you're too much of a brainlet for umberto-sama.

Eco is a fucking god. Read everything you can find.

great novelist

his semiotics stuff is outdated

Baudolino is boring and weird as hell

What do you think about Eco?

I was very young, I was up late dreading tomorrows school-day, there was a book-program on one of the three channels I could get on my small TV in my room, there was an interview with Umberto Eco, at some point in the interview they were in a library, he picked up a book by Heidegger, and called it rubbish, and said how wrong he was.

At the time I was young, and hadn't read anything of either authors. In subsequent years as I matured, I learned.
I was very happy to hear when Umberto died. Good riddance.
