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.

Tolkien(Yes, to me, he is alive)

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.
