Discussion thread 2: Foucault's Pendulum Chapters 7 - 16

[Traveller]

You are very brave, EdMohs. "Tips hat"

[EdMohs]

thanks Traveller

I so enjoyed the topic and
your contributions were fun & insightful

If I could- I would
prepare & share
a dish of bagna cauda
w/all

Eco novels can be as much of a
culinary delight
as they are
difficult to digest

I came in late on the talks.
Somewhere between the
Deutsches underground mine exhibit
-hope those are wax figurines-
and Salon's taxidermy shop Ha

Like Casaubon-
I’m still stumbling through the terra incognita...

Well, until and unless Amazon shuts us down, this group will always be open for new input, since I suspect we haven't even plunged the full depths yet, impressive as all we found out seems to me now in retrospect...

And besides, it's fun to go back and read the threads, it really makes my heart ache in a bittersweet way for all the good times we had in the past...

[EdMohs]

Ha Ha
so good to see Traveller!

I was just perusing

'Kant & the Playpus'

talk about stumbling

still rolling

Yes, speaking of other Eco works, I've actually been looking out for Eco's latest collection of writings, On the Shoulders of Giants, and found out how frustratingly many books have a similar title.

[EdMohs]

Thanks
Hadn’t heard of that!

know what ya mean about titles
song tiles also

I figured there would be archival
treasure load of post - Ecoian literature

I’m really bummed...

last summer was re-reading
my 30year old,
hard cover,
1 st edition of,



Some how a wet object contacted
the bottom of the book.

Now a ¼ section of the bottom pages
are all black wrinkly moldy.

In a way it sort of appropriate
Licks finger and turns the page ;)

I enjoyed the joke, but I hope you didn't lick that finger again! :P

[EdMohs]

Ha
The joke on me !

I just realized
the tainted page is the,
“Name of the Rose"!

In which William of Baskerville exclaims:
O my dear Adso
What have I done ?!
