The HBO show really impressed me so thought I'd take a read-very well written.

#Readers, I have made it through Dante's Purgatorio, where with each ascending circle a "P" is removed from his forehead.This denotes the cleansing of a sin (peccata in Italian. Again, the tale is filled with personal encounters with friends or enemies (annotations help). Virgil has been replaced by Beatrice, as his guide. She represents a former true love, as well asDivine Wisdom. 3 stars (as it was more tedious).

I've decided to break the review of Dante's famous classic story into 3 parts, since I am progressing at a snail's pace. The first part, the Inferno tells of the protagonist's travels into the depths of Hell, albeit at his request (for some reason). His guide for this adventure is the famous poet, Virgil, who Dante idolizes. In truth, the traverse through the nine circles of Hell presents a terrifying journey.

I'm going slowly on this one:-)

I'm re-reading this because it is the special illustrated edition, which adds a whole new dimension.

Finished A Study in Scarlet--about early Mormons (Gov. Romney's group). Obviously, I've read some of these, but thought reading all would be good. At last:-)

Loving this story so far!
