re: #769 ggt
I read it (audio version) and it was confusing as h@ll.
I complain about Eco, but I think I continue to read/listen to him. I think the only one I put down and didn’t pick back up was Baudilino. Can’t remember why.
In my opinion, unless you know 4 languages and can translate them in your head just by hearing them, and you have a full understanding of certain esoteric European history (and just a general knowledge of Europe), listening to that book would be very difficult.
I had to look up things as I went along, and I have sort of a good armchair education in arcana.
