What'd you think of Slaughterhouse Five? Rebekah Send a noteboard - 15/01/2011 11:15:27 AM
- The Name Of The Rose by Umberto Eco. After taking a stroll through the old reviews on the site, I noticed a great post for this one. I suppose this could be bonus points for the Classic Challenge? I've definitely been wanting to read Eco for quite some time. I also have Foucault's Pendulum, Baudolino and The Mysterious Flame of Queen Loana tempting me but I figure this is where I should start.

And you'll have to tell us how you get on with The Name of the Rose. 'Tis a very good book.
