  • Bookseller of the world unite. Buchhändler aller Länder vereinigt Euch.

  • Joffre,

    Have you ever read Christopher Morley's, "The Haunted Bookshop", or "Parnassus on Wheels"? I love the ideal of his bookshop or mobile bookshop in the case of "Parnassus".

    I've only read, "The Name of the Rose", so far when it comes to Eco. I've been meaning to read, "Foucault's Pendulum", which I understand is also excellent, if not better received.

    Crow,

    How about the name, Ignatius J. Reilly, for a hero/protagonist? Personally, I think it's solid gold.

    Peace,

    Brian

  • I love that movie. The song, by Clannad, is most excellent and it still gives me some goose bumps.

  • I love the New England Book Stores. So much class!

  • "Awkward" is a great word to describe JFC's prose. Natty Bumppo as a name for a protagonist is a great example of how aesthetics change as a result of historical context. What seems like a terrible name to us was much more acceptable in the 19th century. After all, this is a society that thought Hiram was a fine name.

    Haven't read the Ecco book. Sounds interesting, especially the bits on fascisit era comics.

    Cheers,

    Crow
