Seriously , what was good about the book ? Or maybe you didn't like it? Your post didn't make that clear , just that the book was high brow. |

this is absolutley correct my friend!!! tihs book along with 2001 space odyssey and the original (homer's) odyssey both begun a remarkable transformation (possibly transfiguration!?!?) for my young mind... the divine comedy is written in verse form (ie an epic poem) very religious, however not terribly dogmatic, and completly intellectualy stimulating for all mindsets. agonostics take notice!!! |

personally the books that altered my young mind'd be welcome to the monkey house (kurt vonnegot) breakfast of champions (same) stranger in a strange land (robert heinlein) childhoods end (um... william scott card? no?) a clockwork orange (anthony burgesse, the last chapter is a must imho) and of course bunnicula (no idea who wrote it, but it's a book about a fucking vampire rabbit- how cool is that, dude) |

dante's statue in florence is tied as my favorite sculpture ever. You'd think it was not only alive but imbued with demonic fright when you see the baleful look it gives you.. |

It was bright as hell that day--the oversaturation isn't just from the camera crapping out.. |

childhoods end is arthur C. clarke, and yes this is one bad ass fucking text!!! you, i guess i meant to say that those books i mentioned really brought forth a clearer understanding of more comtempary lit works, like say Brett Easton Ellis' American Pyscho and Glamorama to state but a few. |

now this i need to see in person, nice pics. |

the divine comedy is actually the inferno, purgatory and heaven. i note this soley because it is possible to find texts with only 1 of 3 parts and in order to fully understand the whole of it... |

i've finished Purgatorio and have just started Paradiso. truly amazing. |
