October has come and gone, and The Verge Book Club has moved on to Inverted World. Before you get too enthralled in Christopher Priest's classic, however, we invite you to take a moment to reflect on Foucault's Pendulum.

Join our own Laura June, Adi Robertson, and The Awl's Ken Layne as they discuss Umberto Eco's novel and what it means to them.

Warning: Spoilers lie ahead!
