I liked “The Name of the Rose”. Book & movie. Call me prudish, but they could have toned down the sex seine. Good Movie though. As always Connery was great.
 
I tried to read Foucalt’s Pendulum…that is some amazing writing that went way over my head.

Rest in peace.
 
Does anybody know if he was reconciled with the Church, or if he did while still an atheist? Nobody knows his heart, but any statements from him lately about his faith?

I agree, the sex scene was a bit unnecessary. It could have been implied something had happened without going into all the details. Apart from that a good movie.
 
Loved both. The writing didn’t go over my head, but it sure gave me a head rush.

Man. He was one of my favorite authors.

Now he wasn’t exactly a devout Catholic but he co-wrote a dialogue with a Cardinal.
 
Can anyone indicate how being a semiotician informed his novels? I’ve been meaning to look into his work since the 1980’s but somehow never got around to it.
