@Manikus - yes to Umberto. . Actually I listened to the audio book of Foucault's Pendulum since I have to be kind of selective about what I actually decide to sit down and spend time reading. But there are so many I really do want to read so I usually end up compromising by finding the audiobook and listening in the car or on a portable headset or on the computer speakers or something while I am busy doing other things. I can absorb a lot more literature that way.

But yeah I am familiar with the works of Umberto. Definitely a master of the craft in deed! I used to have a lot more time for actual reading. I have the complete works of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle which I couldn't put down untill I'd finished for some reason. Guess I've always liked most kinds of crime drama or murder mystery stuff.

Still though for entertainment I actually prefer something more along the lines of Dean Koontz's Dark Rivers of the Heart or 'The Bachman Books' by Stephen King. I really enjoyed reading A Canticle for Liebowitz by Walter Miller Junior and Battlefield Earth by L.Ron Hubbard was a fun read [much much better than the movie]. I could go on all day about books so I'd better just shut up now. lol
