The boys tackle days 3+4 of The Name of the Rose, as the plot (and the pig's blood) thickens in the abbey. They talk about the book's monastic structure, built around the daily prayers, and think about how that affects the central mystery, as well as the ideas Eco is interested in discussing. There is also a discussion of love and its liquefying effects, and the dangers and necessities of censorship.
