I'm surprised because Eco had said he wasn't going to write any new novels.
I am going to wait for this to come out in English, though.

But that's an interesting article, with two people that seem to have had the point(s) of the novel fly over their heads.

From what I can figure out by glancing at the Italian cover description, it sounds awesome.

That is what drew me in as well, besides it being a novel by Eco

Eco in Italian IS very difficult if you're not fluent.

Let me rephrase: I'm going to wait for a hardcover version in Italian or English.

I don't understand it. Are they cheap, poor or do they just not love books?

It sounds like the French, Spanish and Italians don't read but the Germans do.

Yes, I don't think percentages are relevant. Gross statistics would matter much more.
