I read this book when I was a sophomore in college. I read it with only the desk lamp on, spotlight-fashion, while all the corners of the room stayed hidden in shadow. That's the way to do it.

Picked up at Boston March MeetUp, I'm not sure if I will read or re-release but I may try to read it.

I didn't end up enjoying this as much as I expected. It took a few tries to get it going and I was never sure if it was a philosophy treatise or a murder mystery. I think, eventually, it was neither.

Like catching up with an old friend. In which you meet William, of Baskerville. Rather an intellectual type, he applies Ockham's Razor to solve murder mysteries. Tall, lean, hawk-eyed (and -hawk-nosed), brooding... You cannot find a find a better lead man than this.
And the mysteries to be solved are like games of Russian Grandmaster-grade Chess. Very Enjoyable,
