Yesterday I finished reading "The Name of the Rose" by Umberto Eco for the second time. Fantastic book. It talks about a series of crimes in an abbey, and one of the lead characters, William of Baskerville, is a Franciscan logician who uses his mind and deductive abilities to eventually find the common thread among the crimes. He knew and regards Roger Bacon as his master many times in the book, and also mentions William of Occam. Highly recommended to read. It's a masterpiece.
