    Umberto Eco

    Do not want to dismiss opinions. Yet i would think that the Flanders Panel is far from the best books by Eco - although sadly the only one praised by a prize. :confused: Also as far as question is of comparing: best way might be to check on Reverte's Club Dumas in parallel to Eco's Foucault's...

    Greg Egan: Diaspora

    Might diverge from your question but if you cannot come back to it, would recommend Chabon's The amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay. Morry:)

    Interview with the Vampire

    Hiyah, adaptation might betray the books but loved it and turned my face back to Cruise after his role, far from Top Gun crap... also was thinking if i was a scenarist think i would love betray a book: books are being written for being interpreted, aren't they?

    incest novels

    So what?? The point of many people on this I think is not so much that you cannot find books treating the topic in a context of whichever kind but rather that - contextualised or not - finding that speaks about incest in a 'normal' way is impossible: incest is a moral issue and question. If you...

    Manga vs Comics

    What about the not so west continental european comic industry as well? Though I remember having a great time as a kid with the House Ikoku cartoons on TV. Yep on the European comic industry where authorship is not in the business obsessed hands of scrappy corporates: Have just more or less...

    Hi all, Just been informed of a complete abherration to my continental comic roots - I know and apologise deeply for being uninformed so far - : There is pre- and post-crisis with DC and Marvel????? Seems completely fun non-sense to me.:) Morry :cool:

    Umberto Eco

    Hi all, Just a thought here actually. Funes's comment made me think about my young years when I was stuck listening to boring lectures at university. OK before reading this: I am NOT saying that Eco looks to me like the persons described here. Just saying that there is a symptom with...
