The Prague Cemetery

The Prague Cemetery by Umberto Eco
With a complicated plot and a disgusting protagonist, this book skewers anti-semitisim in particular and all conspiracy theories in general. Basically, the book is one large meditation on the meaning of truth. It can be a tough slog, but you will be thinking about what you know and how you know it before the end.

I found this book very entertaining. It is amazing how politics, religious fervor, theft, forgery, lies, and the media still run the world today.....it's frightening how untruths are allowed to proliferate societies. Nothing has been learned throughout the centuries. It could have been 100 pages shorter. -- sarasotasun on 02/15/2013
