I'm supposed to have read Dante's Comedy by tomorrow.

I have not.

Look - the vast majority of it is not that fucking good! I'm sorry, but it's not! Most of it is just self-inserts, espacially Dante's political rivals. It's silly. It reads like a fervently religious Pink Floyd album (and not one of the good ones).

... and don't even get me started on Paradiso, holy shit does it show that Copernicus wasn't to be born for another 100 years...
