Dear Drew, I saw an article in the Trib about the Grace Labyrinth, too. I didn't see the movie version of "name of the rose", but I hear is was fairly well done. (As movies go :) The book drags at times and takes a lot of words to finally get into the library. But it is interesting if you are into the philosophical questions going on around the time of Roger Bacon and the new enlightenment, the heretic Popes, the kings that wanted to bestow the miters, and the lost knowledge from the East resurfacing in North Africa and Spain and working its way across Europe. Movies usually slight the philosophy and concetrate on the murder and intrigue! -- Tracy
