It took awhile to read, but I am finished. Dante's Inferno was really good, and I think it is an important thing to have read. There are so many everyday references and sayings that come from it. The Purgatorio and Paradiso were interesting, but I think that something was definitely lost in the translation. Not really my kind of reading. And now I know several small bits of Italian history that don't really fit together at all and aren't very useful.
I am about halfway through Catch-22, and I am really enjoying it. It is set during World War II, and since I have been reading so much about that time period, it is really interesting. I also finished Unbroken for book club. Great story about an Olympic athlete who ends up being a Japanese POW in World World II. Although it was fairly poorly written.
I am looking forward to starting Volume II of Churchill's World War II.
