The Name of the Rose | Umberto Eco, William Weaver, David Lodge

This book is my Everest. I've been trying to finish it for YEARS. I am only one book away from completing my yearly challenge on Goodreads, so, I've decided that this will be the one to do it. I have 8 days left to finally reach the end of this freaking labyrinth! #umbertoeco #toomuchlatin #readingchallenge #2016readingchallenge

Bookzombie Do you like it? This is an option for my #birthdaychallenge next year. 🤓 8y

lillinares @Bookzombie Yeah! It's an incredibly dense mystery, full of mysticism. (edited) 8y

twohectobooks It helps to just ignore all the Latin paragraphs haha 8y

lillinares @twohectobooks True! And tried doing the that the first time I began this book. But this time I got a companion book called "The Key To The Name Of The Rose" and I feel like I'm studying more than just reading. It takes forever to get through a chapter, but everything makes a lot more sense. ? (edited) 8y

kim.guernsey Good luck! 8y

Madeline I am two books away from finishing the #readharder challenge, too! I am at 70% of The Garden of Evening Mists (SE Asia) and about 20% into Yes, Chef (food memoir). 8y

lillinares @Madeline Good luck, Madeline! We can do this!! 🙌🏼 8y

bookmagic I've been reading this for years, too 😃 I don't think I will get to it finish it this year but it will be on the list for next year 8y

Sydsavvy I've tried too, but only briefly. This makes me feel so much better! I'll wait until you finish to see if I should retry to scale that mountain. 8y

Our Hearts Will Burn Us Down: A Novel | Anne Valente

Embarrassingly behind on my #2016ReadingChallenge! Working to catch up a bit now that it's winter break from teaching, but I doubt I'll hit this year's goal :(
