Foucault's Pendulum

by Umberto Eco

“Before I read this book a friend said to me, "you cannot count yourself a member of the human race if you have not read this book." I think my friend suffered the same myopia that destroys some of the characters in the book, however I must say that I have visited many pendulums since reading this book and I always consider anyone who brings the knights templar up in conversation to be insane.”
