His best-selling novel "The name of the rose" is the most well-known of his works, and also the most easy to read. A mediocre movie was made out of the novel.
IMO Eco's masterpiece is "Foucault's Pendulum", but he has also written many interesting essays. His work often deals with topics like language, communication, perception of things and reality in general, cognition etc.</STRONG>
I think I've heard of Foucault's Pendulum, but I'm not sure.

I've thought of some people who I think are still alive.

Frank Peretti-"The Oath" is a great book.

Joanne Bertin-loved the Dragonlord books

Anne McCaffrey(sp?)-I love the Acorna books

Naoko Takeuchi-Gotta love the Sailor Moon mangas. ;) :D

It seems that no one mentioned Arthur C. Clarke, so I will say that he's my one of my favorite writer.

Arthur C. Clarke
Tolkien(Yes, to me, he is alive)
Stephen R. Donaldson
Ray Bradbury

*Vivien appeares in a white and slightly translucent robe, looking sad, her eyes not understanding this 'justice'. Though she was warned, she had felt it was good to allow others to have differing opinions...
With a hug towards DarkPoet, she starts to leave the thread...*

Because of this, I must say that I have read a book by Stephen King and though I do not remember what book it was, I do remember I liked it.
