I don't think there is chart about him yet. What's the recommended order to read him?

are you interested in Eco novels or in the non-fictional ones?

I recently finished Foucaults Pendulum, its very good, difficult but thrilling. If anyone has any links to essays or critiques on that book I would love to read it, I have only found pseudo intellectual "what if everyone was dead" type of essays. I found the ending to be a criticism of Death of the Author, and the occult societies a postmodern interpretation of all history. Interesting stuff. Not sure of the point of Diotavelli though.

Eco is a great author

I've only read three of his novels, but of them The Name of the Rose is both the best and the most accessible.
