Umberto Eco

I am reading Umberto Eco's autobiography.  I picked it up at the library on a whim because I like his stories and because it states, "he published is first novel in 1980 when he was nearly 50"  That gives me hope.  I'm finding that a good number of authors that I like started their writing careers late in life.



I love that he asks questions like, "Why is a bad poet a creative writer, while a good scientific essayist is not?"
So much to ponder and agonize over.
