Inferno

• The Divine Comedy: Inferno (Vol 1)

I've always wanted to read the Inferno, but I never got around to it for some reason. Finally, I found a book that had the original Italian on one side with the translation on the other, plus a bunch of extra stuff at the end of each chapter and then even more at the back of the book to break it down. I think that I was expecting a lot more out of this book since you hear so much about it, but maybe that's becasue I stll have two more books to read in order to finish The Divine Comedy. (I'm not saying that it was bad, just that I expected it to be amazing.) Thinking of the book in the context of the society in which it was written I can see why it was so popular.
