Another loss of a great person! I got The History of Beauty and On Ugliness together, even though they aren't related books, as a gift a few years back, and both are great reads. I read the name of the Rose a long long time ago as well, and have at least one other of his books,, the recent Year Zero, on my wish list. He was a great author of our time, and a beautiful thinker as well.

I think I'm going to change my signature in his honor.
