Summary: 

I second the recommendation of "The Name of the Rose".  In addition to
being a mystery, it has some interesting philosophical issues to deal with,
as well as being a veiled exposition on the author's views of art.  You also 
get a good explantion of some of the more important theological issues of the
period.  Definitely a many-faceted book.  Be prepared to meet some old literary 
friends in new guises, as well.
