It definitely stuck with me for a while. It also felt lopsided. I have to say that I enjoyed The Name of the Rose more. I'm guessing that you've read it. But if you haven't, you should.
I haven't read anything else by Eco. I've been told that The Island of the Day Before is unreadable. Interesting author.
I would agree with the Name of the Rose being better, and I did also struggle through The Island of the Day Before.
I would like to try and read some of his other works, mainly essays if I remember correctly, but I don't know whether they would be too technical or available in an English translation

Yeah, if anything else he wrote approached The Name of the Rose I'd jump on it. That's one of those books that I recommend to anyone.
The Prague Cemetery sounds promising. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Prague_Cemetery
