Umberto Eco Author/Philosopher Passes

[Dennis The B]

For those who enjoy the "one off" type of novels, the author of "The Name of The Rose", Umberto Eco passed away Friday. He also wrote "Foucault's Pendulum".

"The Name of The Rose" was made into a movie starring Sean Connery.

Both his books were very complicated, but "The Name..." was very enjoyable.

R.I.P.
