LOLZ. I read mostly his fiction: The Name of the Rose, Foucault's Pendulum, The Island of the Day Before, Baudolino, and also the non-fiction Faith in Fakes: Travels in Hyperreality, the latter of which has a great essay on dungarees (the wearing of which made him so aware of his cock he couldn't focus on work, or something), and The Madonna Inn in San Luis Obispo (themed rooms), basically about America's obsession with simulacra/facsimiles. I didn't read his academic stuff.seby wrote: Sat May 29, 2021 6:13 pmHoly shit - laughing out loud here. I tried to start a reading group on his semiotics and the philosophy of language decades ago, but interest was thin : /enframed wrote: Sat May 29, 2021 1:32 pmHaha! I did read a lot of Eco in college, and almost majored in lit! Nailed me!seby wrote: Thu May 27, 2021 4:33 pm So wtf is up the the redundant <en>? Are you using archaic verb forms because you think it impresses people? Like what, a second year English lit major with a beret? Do you carry Eco around? Do you?!

12You're selling a Titus Andronicus record, which can only mean that you once willingly bought a Titus Andronicus record. Were you desperately trying to score cool points with a young college chick or something, or are you just that into giant fucking pussy ass bitch boy music?

13Having Chex Mix breath would imply that you go to a lot of parties, since Chex Mix is a big Midwestern party food hit, which is all the more confounding as one needs to have friends to get invited to parties.chexmixbreath wrote: Sun May 30, 2021 12:55 am You're selling a Titus Andronicus record, which can only mean that you once willingly bought a Titus Andronicus record.

18I laughed. But jokes aside that's the mighty Terry Reid, on the cover of his album Rogue Waves. If you weren't too busy listening to Everclear's greatest hits and house remixes of Smashmouth, you would know this.Curry Pervert wrote: Sun Aug 08, 2021 8:58 am Is that you fretwanking in your avatar wearing your mom's pajamas?

Also Curry Pervert: buys a copy of Whipped Cream and Other Delights at a yard sale and can't wait to get home, put this "ultra rare LP" on eBay, and RAKE IN THE BIG BUCKS!!
