Foucault's Pendulum is a great book! Funny and irreverant. Clever and erudite.

I couldn't read it. Labyrinthian sentences and abstruse vocabulary made it too much a chore.

LOL! I see you've decided to eschew obfuscation.

Foucault's Pendulum is more fun if you sit near a terminal and do internet searches on the weirder words and phrases. How does Eco have room in his head for all this stuff?
