What in the white christian indoctrination?!
Read this because “one must,” and I suspect “one” means average boy who hasn’t reflected on the purpose of life and community.
1.25 cause the reading was dramatic.
(1hour version - couldn’t find that here)

The illustrations were amazing. The book gives you lots to ponder. A must read for any religious folks. It’s absolutely amazing how timeless the work is. Also a really easy classic to get through

My thoughts reading this book was: “huh, that’s a lot of Greeks and Italians in hell, huh?”
Let me tell you what this book is. This is the Avengers: Endgame of books.
What I mean by that is, unless you read 23 books worth of greek mythology, ancient greek history and especially Italian renaissance history; it’ll be like watching Avengers Endgame without having watched any of the other Marvel movies. This is what this book feels like.
The story is that Dante walks through hell and sees various mythological and historic (but not really) figures in there and goes “aw that sucks”. If you recognize the people (your best bet is the Greeks), you’ll go “huh, that’s neat”. If you don’t recognize them, like for example the Arc-duke of Apples and Cucumbers of Tuscany at the time, whom Dante didn’t like, you’ll just ignore whatever you’re reading until you get to the next chapter. In a way, it feels like a fan-fiction for Greek mythology and revenge-porn for all the people in Florence that Dante didn’t like.
I guess the seven rings of hell concept is cool. The punishments are cruel but nothing we haven’t done to each other ten times over.
Go watch Hazbin Hotel instead.

dante was so real for essentially writing a glorified biblical self-insert fan fic
