I envy those who have the patience to read a whole novel from start to finish. I wish I could be one of those read-for-fun types. :?

Maybe you just haven't picked up the right book. And take breaks. Do one chapter at a time if you must. :)

I agree. My brother hates reading,but give him the right book and he will not put it down.

[QUOTE="Teenaged"]Wow, I would never have thought of that from this book.

Teenaged

The Disney movie watered it down to what it is-- a child's fantasy story. And yet -- its so dark (hence why it failed when it was released) only to get revamped when it became a "trip" movie. But the book goes farther along into it.

" If it was so, it might be; and if it were so, it would be; but as it isn't, it ain't. That's logic." - Tweedledee

"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean -- neither more nor less."
"The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things."
"The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master - - that's all."

That surely looks interesting.

Not to mention that most books lose their magic over translations. If I buy this I will deffinately buy the original English text.

Thanks for the "enlightening". :D

No problem! Let me know when you do read it what you think of it. And now I am going to go re-read it again for the nth time. :D

It's about the different levels of Hell. It is part of a 3-book series all by Dante (Divine Comedy I think?). Dante's Purgatorm? and Dante's Paradiso? are the others, I think (hence the question marks).
