Thoughts? Opinions? Work preferences? Read any of his stuff and loved-it/thought-it-was-shit?

>>	Anonymous Fri Dec 17 11:39:59 2010 No.1367885 "The Name of the Rose" is his classic, of course. But I also really loved "Baudolino".

>>	Anonymous Fri Dec 17 11:50:59 2010 No.1367898 Read Name of the Rose, liked it.

>>	Anonymous Fri Dec 17 12:41:59 2010 No.1367983 Read Name of the Rose, Foucault's Pendulum and The Mysterious Flame of Queen Loana, and also some of his essays. He's a very good writer, but honestly I liked the essays better than the novels. Not that I won't read the rest.

>>	Anonymous Fri Dec 17 12:52:59 2010 No.1368003 Baudolino was pretty shit...Overall he's fucking amazing, though. Check out his non-fiction after reading Rose and Pendulum, he has written some really interesting stuff.
