Squeelus threw a tantrum when I said I didn't like Baudolino.

I did however enjoy The Name of the Rose and Foucault's Pendulum.

RIP.

I never finished Baudolino.  :blush:

I enjoyed both you mentioned, too.

Foucault's Pendulum had a profound impact on me when I read it. He was actually one of my favorite authors. RIP  :cry:

And I loved Baudolino too. His recurrent theme of people creating narratives that become real in the minds of others (and themselves) is one of my personal obsessions.

God, when you put it like that, something really should be done.
