Don't let the textbook-ish chapters discourage you, OP.

Well, its not like the plot is gonna pick up or there is any emotional payoff, but at least at the Eco has you tricked in learning a lot of shit, including a basic theory of semiotics (even if thats never mentioned outright).

I prefer "The Name of the Rose" and even "Baudolino", but Eco is good stuff, no matter what.
