I'd rather have Eco read to me than to read him, and my lengthy weekend road trip was a good opportunity. The Mysterious Flame of Queen Loana, about a 60 year-old antique book dealer with amnesia, is a bit bloated but has enough gold in it to make it worth it.
The reading by George Guidall, a Broadway actor who has recorded 850 books, is superb. He hams it up, just right.
