I thought to read it last summer then I noticed my library didn't have a copy, so I settled for Foucault's Pendulum.

The film is also good, but not as funny. Especially when you see the original reviews of it, it feels like modern and desensitised readers are the ideal audience to see how intentionally silly it all is. I mean, fucking hell, why else would he call the hero Ballard?
