You see how smart I am when I'm at my laptop? Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 26/07/2010 10:33:13 AM
Also, thanks; I figure I should actually help review things if I want RAFO to, y'know, work.

Hm. Just read Foucault's Pendulum a while back. I intend to get on to this eventually. Panorphaeon - 23/07/2010 07:24:39 AM 1554 Views
I started Foucault's Pendulum just last night. I know Tom loved it; what do you think? Ghavrel - 23/07/2010 07:34:28 AM 1468 Views
It is less ... organic? Camilla - 23/07/2010 10:21:51 AM 1405 Views
That's a pity. The cohesion of Name was spectacular. *NM* Ghavrel - 23/07/2010 11:17:52 AM 895 Views

It's a great book. Nate - 23/07/2010 07:56:25 AM 1429 Views
I really should have emphasized that more. Ghavrel - 23/07/2010 08:33:20 AM 1383 Views

It is, indeed, a lovely book Camilla - 23/07/2010 10:19:53 AM 1440 Views
It even made me respect postmodernism! Well, a little. Eco's variant. Ghavrel - 23/07/2010 11:22:02 AM 1432 Views

Maybe. I hope so. *NM* Ghavrel - 24/07/2010 12:05:36 AM 819 Views
I'm going to re-read this again sometime in the next few months Larry - 23/07/2010 02:29:29 PM 1436 Views

Oh, I agree. I just wanted to clarify that I think it extends beyond a shout-out to Borges. *NM* Ghavrel - 24/07/2010 12:06:57 AM 821 Views
Even when Eco states quite explicitly that some of it is so? Larry - 23/07/2010 10:20:34 PM 1697 Views
Larry, Larry, Larry. It's all about the reader response. Ghavrel - 24/07/2010 12:10:07 AM 1750 Views
