The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco
4.0

I don’t normally read mysteries, but this one was more literary than most. A lot of rich detail about the disagreements the occupied the church in the 1300s. While all the philosophic conversation could get a little overbearing sometimes, I was always along for the ride, and I learned a bit along the way. There’s some spooky stuff in here.
