So I just picked up Dante's Inferno (the book about the nine circles of hell), the first part of The Divine Comedy. Soooo pumped!

I'm not very far into it yet, but so far its pretty good, it's the first epic poem I've read willingly so I'm trying to keep an open mind haha... It was originally written in Italian, so it's translated. So it rhymed in Italian, but it doesn't in the English translation. (Depending on which translation you get) It's still good though. I've got a translation that gives you notes and like explains some of the language and meanings after each Canto, (chapter)so that's what I would recommend if you want to pick it up at some point.

:-D
