[QUOTE="Rikitikitavi, post: 2888066, member: 101318"] Mrs. O, I read that book too. Just a few weeks ago. When I got to the end I realized I liked his novel "Foucalt's Pendulum" a lot better. Maybe because it was set in the more modern world and had Rosicrucians and Illuminati and secret societies and what not in it. The Name of the Rose confused the hell outta me for a while, I spent a lot of it asking, now what the hell is going on? I loved the chapters on Fra Dolcino though, never knew about the character. The story was well woven, I loved the ending, but in my mind it wasn't as superb as that of FOUCALT'S PENDULUM. Ohh, I forgot to mention my favorite book. It's (no surprise here) FOUCALT'S PENDULUM by Umberto Eco. In close positions are War and Peace from Tolstoy and Pudd'nhead Wilson from Mark Twain. I loved FOUCALT'S PENDULUM because it was brilliantly put together, the author's style was enjoyable plus all the historical links appealed to me as a nerd. [/QUOTE]
