A list of books I've read recently with some occasional gibberish thrown in.

THE NAME OF THE ROSE - Umberto Eco
This is another book I've read several times and never tire of. It will be read several more times as well as there is so much in this as well as being a very good murder mystery.
The story is set in 1327 where Brother William of Baskerville and his novice Adso of Melk are travelling in relation to the heresies that have split the church. William is an ex-inquisitor who is no slug intellectually.
They stop at an Abby where over the next seven days several murders occur and William is tasked to solve them by the Abbot.
As stated there is much religious philosophy, much discussion of how the church should be run, much to think about as well as a cracking mystery.
A great book.
