Just Read: July
The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco
Discovered: On a bookshelf at my grandmother's house about 10 years ago
About It: It's a murder mystery set in a medieval monastery, but it's packed full of theological debates and a bit of political intrigue. While I really enjoyed the movie, I tried several times over the past 10 years or so to read book, and never made it very far. I guess I must have matured as a read or something, but this time around I really got into it. Previously, the long theological debates turned me off, but this time around I found I really enjoyed them. Mostly.
My Rating: 3.5/5
