Ooh, I loved that compilation of essays indeed! Like it gave me a side of Eco not quite evident in The Name of the Rose and Foucault's Pendulum :)

15 hours is more than halfway, great job! Keep it up, and happy reading. :)
I needed one of those last night too!!! Love your creativity!! Thanks for playing :)
