One of my favorites. Try his essays - they are always good and a bit easier to get into.<br /><br />Nezumi-san, I'm going to get his How to Write a Thesis. Looks like a great read.Victoria FERAUGEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16319699673885400472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424131704277823220.post-12371252379009786112016-02-23T15:39:01.221+01:002016-02-23T15:39:01.221+01:00I loved Foucault's Pendulum, seemed like Thoma...I loved Foucault's Pendulum, seemed like Thomas Pynchon with knobs on.

I probably would like it now, and just might try to find it. My daughter had to read him for one of her philosophy classes on semiotics and was driven up the wall.
