nella speranza che nessun professore sappia usare goodreads: è un bel libro se tutte le persone che lo leggono saltano (o vorrebbero farlo) innumerevoli sue parti? io direi di no. scritto benissimo senza dubbio, ma secondo me è un libro avvincente solo nel tempo e nel contesto della sua pubblicazione, e non dovrebbe essere indicato come un classico poiché contiene idee e concetti ormai superati e non più universali. e, sinceramente, anche ai suoi tempi eco se la poteva risparmiare la demonizzazione delle donne e dell'omosessualità. una lettura faticosa e noiosa, un mistero vagamente interessante ma soffocato da eterne filippiche e discussioni sulla morale in chiave cattolica, anche no. ci sta che non abbia capito niente io ma va detto che l'ho recepito in questo modo dopo averne ascoltata l'analisi in università e aver letto un saggio critico a riguardo.

I wish I read it instead of listened. I had to rewind a couple bits to catch certain logic or wordplay. Kinda gave up on understanding the geography of the abbey, but trusted the ride.

The StoryGraph questions work really well for the majority of fiction books, but they aren’t great for nonfiction, and they also kinda don’t help with this book either
If you want a deep dive into nerdy medieval church thought and controversies, but make it kinda sorta Sherlock Holmes? This is the book for you. Except it’s more depressing than Sherlock Holmes. Also, did I mention it’s a deep dive into ecclesiastical controversies of the high Middle Ages? Yeah. That. It is.

books like this make you wonder about the part that you play in the narrative, especially when the narrative is buried several layers deep. i felt like a 14th century monk myself filling the margins with annotations and translations. eco is so insanely clever. what a book!!!!!!!!
