I just finished reading the first of a three part series: Dante and Virgil's Totally Awesome Adventure in Hell
The Divine Comedy is a great book, especially in Italian because it rhymes. The inscription above the Gates of Hell is especially descriptive:
Per me si va ne la città dolente,
per me si va ne l'etterno dolore,
per me si va tra la perduta gente.
Giustizia mosse il mio alto fattore;
fecemi la divina podestate,
la somma sapienza e 'l primo amore.
Dinanzi a me non fuor' cose create
se non etterne, e io etterno duro.
Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch'entrate.
(Through me the way into the suffering city,
through me the way to the eternal pain,
Through me the way that runs among the lost.
Justice urged on my high articifier;
my maker was divine authority,
the highest wisdom and the primal love.
Before me nothing but eternal things
were made, and I endure eternally.
Abandon every hope, who enter here.)
And so it begins...."Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance and the gospel of envy; its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery." - Winston Churchill
"I only know what I hear on the news." - Dear Leader

I am currently reading The Brothers Karamazov but am having a hard time getting started. Might not happen until I am on vacation in a week and a half.

I may be small, but I'm slow.
A veteran - whether active duty, retired, or national guard or reserve is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to, "The United States of America ", for an amount of "up to and including my life - it's an honor."
