So - I devoured the first half-ish of it on a wknd on the boat...and I still have half to finish. But it's sort of like a yummy treat - once I finish it, it's gone.
Love it, and I recommend it. Brilliant.

I tried reading this about five years ago, and couldn't get past page 13 or so. Just too...Oh, I don't know. It's not like I'm especially thick, or anything. At least, I don't think so. I loved Name of the Rose, but F's P is another kettle of fish entirely.
I'll have to try again - your enthusiasm is compelling - once I get the highly enjoyable Resurrection by Tolstoy out of the way
