# You launch into them with Goethe?

I don't understand how anyone who knows Goethe
could be a fan of Dan Brown. Just because
pompous fucks like Eco doesn't make it bad.
Personally, I prefer Arturo Perez-Reverte over
Eco, lighter style and better dialog and great irony.
But Dan Brown gives me the shuddering heebie-jeebies...

# I was misled.
I'm afraid I can't comment on Eco as I have never read any of it. I was referring to a guy called Michel Foucault who was a pompous, condescending twat.
Horses for courses. I read anything and everything I can get my hands on, what I like is what appeals to me at the time. Some adults like Harry Potter, yet I for one could never comprehend reading children's stories stolen from classical mythology.
