William of Baskerville trying to explain a nuanced take on heresy and Adso not comprehending, was actually really entertaining.

I feel seen:
"And so I fell devoutly asleep and slept a long time, because young people seem to need sleep more than the old, who have already slept so much and are preparing to sleep for all eternity.

It's safe to say William of Baskerville endeared himself to me once he started arguing with a monk about the importance of laughter.

Thankfully the reviews prepared me for how slow and tedious this novel is. But I'm always down with some random Latin being thrown into the mix. 😎
