Review of Foucault's Pendulum by Umberto Eco:

Eco is, at best, long winded here as he delivers the message that our obsessions come to rule us. In other words, you are what you think, so be careful what you think about. So if you spend your life searching for proof that Bigfoot is real, it really won't matter if Bigfoot is objectively real because your life is all about Bigfoot, which is as real as anything ever gets. I would have enjoyed Eco's take on this if only he had cut about two hundred pages.
