[QUOTE=Rumpelteazer;1513951]I hardly ever stop reading a book but tonight I put The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco aside. It's beautifully written but way too detailed for my taste (at the moment). I feel with all the descriptions and detailed and long conversations the story gets lost. I might come back to it later but for now I'm not in the mood.

I gave up on this until after I'd seen the movie. Once I knew what it was about I could read the book I've never gone back for another Umberto Eco book though.
