Yo...and I apologize up front if my AV offends any poor redskin fan. It is in no way shape or form to be an instrument of smack in my participation of this forum's discussions.

Don't know. All I can say is that it's really hard to read.Roger_the_Shrubber wrote:Foucalt's Pendulum: I treatise of total arrogance or a novel of esthetic quality?
Must be the small letters and big words.

How would you have liked to have been the guy to translate that from the Italian into English? Imagine those big words in Italian?
So you know what we are talking about: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foucalt%27s_Pendulum
One of, if NOT the hardest book to read.

Actually, I think the translator is to blame. Eco was known for using words of no more than four letters.

I can see that you're good at this, but I don't think that's Italian.

Reading the synopsis makes my head hurt. And I read the original book. I think Eco's works are the main cause of brain tumors.

"Stronzo" has seven letters, I think.

I took the grandsons to see "WTWTA" this weekend, then had Ivo (the older one) read me the book. Figured it would be faster that way rather than my having to sound out all the words myself. I think that's why god invented movies. And grandkids.
