To: BigBobber; Focault's Pendulum
I really enjoyed The Name of the Rose. It's a good murder mystery. However, Eco's next book was incomprehensible. Couldn't get very far in it and forgot the name.Good grief, and you call yourself a FReeper?
The book you're unable to remember the title of is Foucault's Pendulum.
He's working on a sequel, tentatively titled Am I Logged In?

Don't think this is a bestseller but IMHO, it ought to be and it takes about an hour to read:

If this book was done with a liberal slant it would be hailed by the media as a pure work of art...

Why should I look it up when I know you'd do it for me?

"Foucault's Pendulum"
I loved Name of the Rose and was really into FP until the end; didn't like the ending.
I started "The island of the day before" but couldn't get more than 10 pages into it before I had to quit.
A great unknown classic I just finished is "the Master and Margarita" by Bulgakov(?). Its the best book I've read in years.
