Blackwell (NP)

The giving-to-a-library idea isn't a bad one... but I'm in Boston, and
the BPL isn't exactly hurting for books, and my school is certainly
taking enough of my money (and has a very well stocked library)...
also it's pretty much just by chance that i'm coming across this
opportunity so I think I might be greedy on this one.

Does anyone have anything to say about The Search for a Perfect
Language by Umberto Eco?  I've heard he's a good novel writer (I
agree) but that his theory and non-fiction are way off and contain
some very basic errors.

Do you think I'd be better off going with The Adorno Reader, to The
Search for a Perfect Language?  Right now my list is:

Emile Durkheim
Kierkegaard Reader
Guattari Reader
Adorno Reader
Philosophical Investigations

The only one I'm not absolutely certain will be of interest to me is
the Adorno book.
