Anyone heard much about the new Umberto Eco?

I haven't heard much, but Eco's talking about it at Sixth & I Synagogue tonight. Tickets are $12 for the talk, $27 for a signed copy of The Prague Cemetery and two tickets to the talk.

Maybe DeathFromAbove1979 is more clever than we think and he's refering to his distaste for Tim Drake:

Tim Drake is a snot nosed brat! Practically black mailed Bruce into being Robin. So weak! Kind of. Didn't he also get his face bashed in by The Joker? Hahahaha

No.  That's Jason Todd.  But it's Dick Grayson who had the mullet....AND a ponytail!

It would be a long while.  It's more than 900 pages.  I am about 300 pages in and the story didn't really get going until after the first 200.  So far I am enjoying it, but if you haven't read Murakami before, I would start with The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle or Kafka on the Shore first.  I think this book has been getting a lot of attention based on those previous ones than purely on the merits of 1Q84.

Fuck all the Robin's. I could care less. Although I think in "Under The Red Hood" Jason Todd is pretty badass. If that's him. Alls I know is Nightwing is kinda weak.

Familiar with Kafka on the Shore!  I know how long it is.  Thought it would be a good winter book.
