4 more days, and I'm free. I have 277 books on my to-read shelf, so I have NO idea what I'm reading next. BUT - feel free to recommend something, from the shelf.
or, you know, Peake and Eco.
Ick, serious stuff Maybe. I've started on Peake. It was alright, but the book is so thick I can't take on the go with me. Eco - is Name of the Rose really good? LIke, interesting and fun to read, and not just the kind of book that makes you feel smart? And better than Anathem?
I haven't read Anathem, but The Name of the Rose is very entertaining. It is a sort of monastic detective novel clothed in some lovely language and very cool references. I thought I saw Foucault's Pendulum on your list as well. It is also good. Not quite as ... together as The Name of the Rose, and possibly more "make you feel smart"-oriented.
