Status Updates From Foucault’s Pendulum

Tips for future readers to be included in my review: Some characters tend to ramble on and on. Skip sentences in which there are four or more commas separating nouns. The book is punctuated with bits of untranslated Latin and French. It won't make any difference if you don't look those bits up.

Some swathes of this novel have washed over me with relatively lacklustre prose yet others chapters have been nothing short of excellent. I admire the breadth of knowledge communicated through such esoteric references. The translation utilizes some excellent vocabulary - "carbuncle", "insufflate", et cetera. Consider me gripped for now.
