For February, David has chosen Umberto Eco’s The Name of the Rose.

The book is easily found (as indicated in the above link) translated into English. Eco brilliantly draws together the elements of mystery and suspense into his novels. Anyone who can appreciate Sir Arthur Conan Doyle will love this book, and if you were disappointed in The DaVinci Code, this will certainly make up for it.

I will be posting here about once a week with a ‘column’ of my thoughts for various parts. I highly encourage you to find this book from your library or to drop the $15 it costs to buy it from B&N. (13.50 if you have a membership)
