yes. If you are looking for a good read I'd recommend The DaVinci Code . . . if you are looking for intellectual masturbation go with Eco Umberto. Umberto is, if I recall correctly, a Linguistics Professor, and his works of fiction are also lessons in semiotics. Unfortunately, I think Umbertos works must lose something in translation and for most people will be a painful read . . . IMHO.
