Umberto Eco: The Name of the Rose. You are a mystery novel dealing with theology, especially with catholic vs liberal issues. You search wisdom and knowledge endlessly, feeling that learning is essential in life.

Hmm, have they read the book? Weren't those people killed to stop them from seeking wisdon / finding the truth?

I thought the reason for the killings were that they were not allowed to laugh... :D
I don't want to write spoilers so I stop here ;) But you are right the description sounds a bit odd, as if they have not read the book, but only watched the movie... which is a bit cheesy:

Now that you mention it... It seems that it's too long ago that I read the novel.

sander123 is right: the victims were killed for trying to read Aristoteles' treatise on Comedy... I think the quiz makers meant to say that you are like William of Baskerville :D. Could have been worse, if you ask me :-).

Well, they were kept from knowing the truth about the fact that it is allowed to laugh, weren't they? ;)

Yes, with the tiny exception that theology isn't my thing at all, William of Baskerville is okay.
