Nagyon szerettem. Olvasás közben felkerült a kívánságlistámra, Eco pedig a kedvenc szerzők közé (tudom, hogy mostanában a második, de tényleg nem osztogatom könnyen ezt a címet). Élvezet volt olvasni, a szövegek rövidsége miatt több átszállásos tömegközlekedésre is kiválóan alkalmas, ha az embert nem zavarja, hogy nyilvános helyen nagyon vigyorog, esetleg hangosan felnevet. Ismét legszívesebben kiidéztem volna az egészet, az álcázott könyvek játéka pedig annyira népszerűnek bizonyult, hogy borzasztóan addiktív zóna is született belőle. Ezúton kérek elnézést a lekésett határidők, lassan haladó munka miatt (pont az év végi hajrában). Timár Krisztina is megmondta: Eco tehet róla! ( )

Wonderful collection of parodies, satires, and pastiches. If you have ever read [b:Lolita|7604|Lolita|Vladimir Nabokov|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1327871906s/7604.jpg|1268631], the short opening parody "Granita" may be the funniest thing you'll have ever read. ( )

Of course I liked it. What I can understand of Eco's writing is hilarious. 2017 was the year of Eco and it is looking like 2018 is off to a good start of being a second edition. ( )

Culled from Eco's work for a literary magazine in the late 50s and early 60s, Misreadings is largely a series of lampoons and satire, exploiting the trends of the time. Much appears dated. The mass man of the Mad Men is approached by structuralist means. Kinsey meets Ho Chi Minh.

That said, there a few jewels, notably Letter to My Son penned in 1964 for his infant son Stefano, such is a meditation on military toys and a need for nurturing a sense of history. Make Your Own Movie is a digression on semiotics and cinema, one so rich as to give notice to those trawlers of Derrida and DFW. ( )
