The name of rose

It's "The Name of the Rose". It's very witty and a fun, intelligent mystery. There is a bit of semioticism in there, but mainly his focus here is on the advances and pitfalls of scholasticism (a much more interesting topic, IMO). If you want semiotics, see his "Foucault's Pendulum" (which is a bit of a descent into Dan Brown territory, though admittedly much brainier).

 

I also enjoyed the Sean Connery film quite a bit (mainly because of Arnoud's lovely moodiness - he also directed Enemy at the Gates and Seven Years in Tibet).
