Welcome to Litsy!

Took me one month to the day, but I finished. As challenging in its own way as Rushdie‘s THE SATANIC VERSES. Book discussion a few weeks away. A big “whew” from me! #FirstSaturdayReaders

Finished PARABLE OF THE SOWER for September book club, and thought I‘d get a head start on October‘s door stop of a book, THE NAME OF THE ROSE. #FirstSaturdayReaders

I really enjoyed the history and mystery aspects of this story, but there was too much theological discussion to keep my full attention.

Whew!21hours.This is the longest audiobook I‘ve had the patience to listen to.The book&film adaptation are masterpieces.There is so much to discover:scholasticism,the Catholic Church-heretics& the Inquisition,postmodernism,crime&historical novel.So many references to medieval and modern thinkers.The untranslated passages in Latin are a challenge when listening but the audio is a delight especially when Salvatore comes alive.Thanks @rwmg

After more than 10 years and two failed attempts, I finally finished this novel! It was worth the struggle to read through all the philosophical and theological discussions despite the slightly disappointing ending.
