For those unfamiliar with the writings of Umberto Eco, the Italian philosopher and literary master, try not to start with his work "The Island of the Day Before", especially if you're in the last 2 weeks of your degree! I planned to read his books ever since I saw The Name of the Rose with Sean Connery and Christian Slater ie. some time ago, but it was only last Thursday that I finally managed to get around to doing so. I bought it from Borders at Inverness, a marvellous book-shop if I don't say so. Although I have 2 major assessments and a project to complete fro 2 weeks time, followed by 2 exams, I find myself caught up in this literary masterpiece, the story of Roberto della Griva.... wait, I'm not going to explain what the book is about, it's to profound, if you want to know you'll have to read it yourself, anyway I'm only halfway through it !
