How to Travel with Salmon (umberto Eco Series)
by H
About This Novel
A witty and atypical guide to life, telling us how to take a meaningful vacation, how to travel with salmon, how to avoid talking about football, how to take a train in the United States, how to talk about animals, and even how to become a Knight of Malta... Joking, provocative, and humorous, it is an incredible combination of profoundness and worldliness. With his naughty wit and genius-like cynicism, Eco answers questions we have never thought of and questions the answers we are accustomed to. Football, porn, and coffee pots, these seemingly "brainless" topics, become both interesting and profound in his writing, leading us to peek into the absurdity of modern life.

It is a recreational read, quite humorous, with some sarcastic remarks at the beginning, and then one, two, three, or four chapters later, it starts to talk about serious things (as for whether it is about telling real things, I don't know, I don't know, I can't tell!) It's like when your professor told a joke in class, and you were laughing and thought it was strange and humorous, but he suddenly turned serious and asked you how you did your homework.
