I’ve heard others say the same thing. But be patient with it. The first chapter sets up the story well and the rest is really intriguing. Eco can be a little heavy with erudition, but this is actually a lighter read than The Name of the Rose in my opinion.
And I’ve neglected that page for a long while. I haven’t even added Patrick O’Brian’s Aubrey/Maturin series yet!
I think I was also quite young and judgmental when I first came across it. Will give this a real go at the next opportunity!
New reading project: "Read the Mug" ???
You read my mind but Toriaz wasn’t on the same page
