So I started reading The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri a couple of weeks ago (Dante's Inferno; Purgatorio; and Paradiso). I've been wanting to read it for a while, but I just never had the time. It's honestly one of the hardest books I've ever read. I personally hate poetry and books written in Old English - The Divine Comedy is both of those in one! As hard as the book is, I'm really enjoying it.
I'm kind of speeding through it, just because I know I'm gonna reread it. Hopefully I get used to it and it won't be such a tough read. I'm planning on finishing Dante's Inferno sometime next week and starting Purgatorio right away.
I highly recommend it, but it's not an easy read at all.
