I'm thrilled to remember that there's an author out there whom i Love and pretty much haven't read at all.<br /><br />thanks for the Eco recommend; i really want to like him, so hopefully it's just a matter of finding the right entrance.<br />did you like the Illuminati ? i think i may be barking up the wrong genre with Foucalt's Pendulum, as the Illuminati gave me big pussy ('pus - ee') hives.good old ohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14454702773523287540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9832114.post-1109624969109935162005-02-28T13:09:00.000-08:002005-02-28T13:09:00.000-08:00everyone has a favorite Kerouac: mine is Lonesome Traveler, i think his most autobiographical, & a fairly resounding call for the value of the wanderer in society.<br /><br />based on what you've said, i think your entrance to Eco may lie in The Island of the Day Before. Foucault's Pendulum is its own special pleasure, eventually, tho it does take time. besides, it's totally worthwhile for the value of throwing it at people who loved The DaVinci Code. Take that, sucker. You should try it.<br /><br />And Murakami's got a new one out.<br />Hard-Boiled Wonderland was my first, strangely enough in a cyberpunk context.<br /><br />Methinks I'll be visiting your blog again.<br /><br />Ciao.jenn seehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15500169883283297871noreply@blogger.com
