I think I might have to drop this book.

I'm on page 238, and it's been painful. The premise is interesting, but all the arcane medieval shit is starting to get tiresome, and way too close to 50% of the text is dialogue among characters who are experts in subjects that I don't know anything about.

Does it get better?

A book is forcing you to learn? God forbid.
No, it doesn't suddenly get worse at some arbitrary point in the book.

Well, GR and IJ were enjoyable even though I'm not an expert on Poisson distributions nor Peckinpah.

Hm, why do you ask?

That's pretty rich coming from someone vulgar enough to place a high value on clumsy and pompous didacticism. You probably love Dostoevsky.

If you think Eco is didactic you might have downs.
