YMMV / Umberto Eco

  • Funny Moments: The entirety of his essay collection How To Travel With A Salmon; "How To Use The Coffeepot From Hell" in particular, is hilarious.
  • Unintentional Period Piece: One of the essays from How To Travel With A Salmon has the narrator looking for free porn on the Internet. The book is a compilation released in 1992, at the very beginning of the Internet era (the first website ever opened in 1991). Considering how common and easy to find free porn quickly became, the ending (the narrator didn't find anything) could only work at the time the essay was written.
