I, too, loved <i>The Name of the Rose</i> but confess to having had difficulties with <i>Foucault's Pendulum</i>--those are the only 2 of Eco's books that I can claim any acquaintace with. But you have convinced me to "meet" this one.<br />Thank you!dshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07616750784052488695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023956444265128672.post-60195102606777103462010-07-11T20:16:36.828+08:002010-07-11T20:16:36.828+08:00Just bought a copy of In the Name of the Rose as I...Just bought a copy of In the Name of the Rose as I've been meaning to read it for a while now.

There is also a short novel by Louis Stone called Jonah which deals more with urban poor, that might be of interest. Joseph Furphy may be another name worth checking out and even though it is poetry you might find C J Dennis' The Sentimental Bloke interesting for it's humour. If I think of some more I will let you know, happy reading and blogging.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023956444265128672.post-80918068392773861092010-07-11T09:38:56.513+08:002010-07-11T09:38:56.513+08:00I haven't read any of Umberto Eco yet, but thi...I haven't read any of Umberto Eco yet, but this book sounds fascinating.

I've read _The Name of the Rose_ and _Foucault's Pendulum_ and thoroughly enjoyed them.
