So I've been reading Umberto Eco's new novel, The Mysterious Flame of Queen Loana, a book that has definitely been influenced by the creation of hypertext. If you haven't checked it out yet, you should (I say that even though I haven't finished the whole thing, which is very unusual for me).

I've been a fan of Eco's since I first read Foucault's Pendulum in the late 1980s. And of course the movie version of The Name of the Rose is one of the more underrated films made in that decade.

Let me just suggest that for this one, they wait about thirty years to make the movie and then cast Guy Pearce.
