I can only agree with the recommendation. One fun fact I wanted to add is that in one of his writings Eco told the story of a letter he received because of said book. In the book there is the description of a fire in Paris on a specific date. The reader wrote to Eco, that he must have gotten the date wrong, as he was at that place that night and that there was no fire. Eco uses this as an example, that some readers do not understand the signifiers of fictionality and that authors sometimes have to deal with readers taking their fictional work literally.
