I read his Foucault's Pendulum and The Name of the Rose. They were kind of boring.
You suck too. I love those books.
Foucault's Pendulum is one of the most compulsive page turners I've ever read. On the other hand, I tried reading
The Island of the Day Before and went into a coma halfway through.
Foucault's Pendulum was so fucking boring.

It was an extremely well-educated man flexing his intellectual muscles, saying: look at how smart I am!
Not at all, mon frere. It's a dazzling exploration of man's historical quest to find cosmic explanations for the happenstance of our existences.
