The Divine Comedy: Inferno - Purgatorio - Paradiso by Dante Alighieri
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Re-Read. I mean, of course, with all those things I've read, to neglect one of the most famous of famous epic poems would be an unforgivable sin. One worthy of being sent to hell for. So, obviously, I had to read it. And I took a guide, lost a guide, and wound up messing with the spheres of heaven by the end.

Because, why not?

Is it a thinly-veiled condemnation of Italian peers by way of historical personages? An allegory for the Tree of Life? A personal journey of transcendentalism? A roaring road-trip good-time?

Why not all these things?

Classics are classics for a reason. Some can be come at from any angle. Or angel. Whatever.

Good shit to revisit.



Personal note:
If anyone reading my reviews is be interested in reading my SF (Very hard SF, mind you), I'm open to requests.

Just direct message me in goodreads or email me on my site. I'd love to get some eyes on my novels.
