Italian author Umberto Eco has died
The Italian philosopher and author, Umberto Eco, best known for his novel "The Name of the Rose", which was made into a film starring Sean Connery, has died at the age of 84.

One of my favourite authors; he'll be missed. My favourite book of his is "Foucault's Pendulum", which has been described as "the thinking man's Da Vinci Code".

May his soul rest in peace. He was a wonderful writer and philosopher. The Island of the Day Before and The Name Of The Rose are his great contribution to the literature world.
