Foucault's Pendulum

This is one of those books that has caught my eye for years and years, always curious. So I finally borrowed it from a friend when he said it was one of his favorites. It really was an extremely interesting book, and I really enjoyed the journey - it's rich with history of Templars, Rosicrucians, and all kinds of secret cults and groups, all woven into an amazing tale today. Sometimes I found it a little hard to follow, and there are several phrases in the book that are in different languages and they are never translated (I choose to think they must not have been crucial to the book...but I will never know!). I was also slightly disappointed in the ending...but I can also see that he ended it the only way it could have. So I am glad I read it, but ultimately have mixed feelings.
