The Name of the Rose: including the Author's Postscript

The Name of the Rose - Umberto Eco I have picked up this book 3 times, trying to finish it. Well, due to sheer stubborness, I finally finished it today. Yup - all 500+ pages. The plot and setting are interesting, but it is incredibly verbose. I really wanted to enjoy this - a mystery set during the Middle Ages. But I just couldn't get into all of the discussion about the feuding popes and nobility.
