It's kind of outdated

You pretty much have to be a student of the time period to catch all the jokes and insults that Dante threw around

I found a manga version done in Western art style. It has footnotes to explain some of the dialogue, which was kept true to form.

Have to read Don Quixote and Guns, Germs and Steel for my AP World class.

Should be fun.

Read Stephen King's On Writing; was very interesting, gives me better insight of how to write in a compelling manner. Also there were no sudden ends.

My brother-in-law lent me The Lord of the Rings, so Dante will wait. Only about a hundred pages read yet. I thought it was so serious it would be harsh to read, but it turns out to be full of humor.

Just finished "John Dies at the End"

Man I really wanted to like it, but it just kept jumping around it seemed like he was just making it confusing for the sake of it

There were also a couple unresolved plot holes that kept bugging me

That kind of blows. I'd heard a lot of good things, was thinking of looking into it.

I mean, I like the style

It's just, for me, every other page was just like "What the fuck is happening"

Does anyone else read Star Wars novels, or am I just a colossally predictable nerd?
