[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I tried Foucault's pendulum and felt really dumb after 30 pages. I just could not understand the book. Now i feel very impressed when I see someone reading it in public.[/quote] Agree....and I usually force myself to finish a book, even if I don't like it at first. For The English Patient poster--I recommend watching the movie, then reading the book. The book will fill in many of the holes in the movie's plot. I do think it's a rare case of a person needing to do both to get the whole picture. [/quote] Hee - I loved, loved, loved The Name of the Rose but it was a hard-earned read; enjoyed one of his recent ones too but it was a toughie. My sister told me that Foucault's Pendulum pretty much made Name of the Rose feel like a beach read, so I think I'll be leaving Foucault's Pendulum be... feel like less of a book-wimp for having read both of your posts:) [/quote]
