Reading Options

I would like to read stories that are popular, which I have not read yet. I like knowing the information when people use sayings or quotes from books or movies.

Dante's Inferno

Inferno
This is a story I have wanted to read for a while now, not just because it is a video game. I am not sure what the story is about and I would love to find out for myself.

Before transferring to OU, classes were not that difficult for me at previous colleges. When I came to OU, I realized that I do not understand more difficult concepts as fast as everyone else. My short term memory is also lacking and memorization can be tough. But when I look at subjects with a more positive view than the alternative, I tend to ...

Link to Image Here Dante's Divine Comedy, translated by Tony Kline  Link Here Dante and Virgil   This first section or chapter of the story was hard to follow for me. I will see if it gets better as I continue. There were some cool parts.   T he monsters   T he drama of it all   S eeing ancient spirits in pain   The Gate of Hell and Charon   N o cowards!   No uncertainty!   B eautiful illustration by William Blake that I will be using for my post   "stained, eternally, like sand  spiral ing  in a whirlwind."-- LIKEEEE    'I will tell you, briefly. They have no hope of death, and their darkened life is so mean that they are envious of every other fate.
