Divine Comedy*

It has been 20 years - almost to the month since I had last read this piece. It was much more enjoyable now in this life, than then, simply due to 'growing;' an amazing read, really. Originally started in 1308 I think it was, it took Dante nearly 20 years to complete the comedy shortly before his death. This version is the second in my collection, meaning each version has different translators and therefore different interpretations - I may yet do a third.

Part II: Purgatory is next.

Yes. DIvine. The copy I have has the Italian on the opposite page; I can't read Italian but it's cool to be able to pick out recognizable words and roots. Amazing book.

Next do Paradise Lost.

Dante's Inferno is almost scary with these weird funny moments, it's wonderful.
