I skipped a lot of the lists, descriptions, and some of the sermons. Like Adso, I relied on William's simplified translations of conversations and events, unable to make sense of most them myself. Probably I didn't get as much out of this book as others, but I did enjoy the mysteries, both the earthly and philosophical.
The Name of the Rose might be the first tome in Dark Academia's library.
