"The Search for the Perfect Language" is a really entertaining book if you like codes, languages, occult history, and/or chuckling at hubristic academic endeavors.
Umberto Eco is a wonderful writer, up there with Borges. They shared a deep philosophical interest in language, exploring it from various angles in their works. Both widely versed in obscure literature, approaching it with wit and humor.
