Book #7 - "The Name of the Rose"

This was another book that Ken was kind enough to throw my way. This book by Umberto Eco has quite the following among the literary community. It's a mystery novel set in a 14th century abbey and besides the usual "whodunit," there's a ton of theological information, historical problems in the Church, and overall it is a fairly dense read. I read it quickly (loads of free time at school, remember?) and will admit that I skimmed bits because I found myself getting a bit bored. The actual murder stuff was interesting... I could have done less with the blah blahing for the other stuff. "It was just okay for me, dawg."
