Nah, Name of the Rose was excellent, and easy reading too.aliantha wrote: I find that's true with Eco in general. For me, it helps to skim the pedantic bits and get on with the narrative.

Hey, wait. I don't see that you read DG?? Did your library get it? Mind you, you could just as easily read MoI first. I won't mess continuity at all. I'm just curious.

I read it. 
MoI will have to go some way to beat DG, as far as I'm concerned. It's shaping up well though. Posted: Mon Jun 21, 2010 10:32 am
Yeah, I can't possibly argue with anyone who prefers DG. Extraordinary book!

Local library just had a fundraising book sale; got an entire shopping bag of books for $5.00, among them all of the Herbert/Anderson Dune prequels. On "The Machine Crusade" now...they're ok, but don't have the depth/density of the originals...

The siege of Capustan does a good job of coming close to DHG.Horizonscan wrote:MoI will have to go some way to beat DG, as far as I'm concerned. It's shaping up well though.
Haven't read them, but have been reliably told that there are serious canononical issure with them too.Vraith wrote:but don't have the depth/density of the originals...
