Gonna continue my book list here in the hopes someone else will add a comment! Finished listening to the Arabian nights on audio book- the Talking bird, Singing tree, and Golden water was my favorite story! Finishing up My Mercedes is NOT for sale by jeroen van bergeijk about a guy who drives from amsterdam to ouagadougou (in Burkina Faso) in an old mercedes to sell. After that I've got Orchid Fever, by Eric Hansen (such a great travel writer! Stranger in the Forest is a definite must!) and The Jaguar Smile: A Nicaraguan Journey by Salman Rushdie. Also currently listening to Chariot of the Gods? by Erich von Daniken

Seriously, Im a book nerd. This week I left the library with 13 books

Rez Dante's Inferno is the fire...

That was fun to say. I loved it and hope to read Purgitorio and Paradisio before late August and Burning Man. The theme this year is Rites of Passage and the Inferno to me is a Rite of Passage that is unlike any other piece of work in existence. The journey through Hell to get to the one we love in Heaven.

Dante also writes in the lineage of Homer and Virgil. I seriously just read the part of the Iliad where Hektor dies. In the Iliad Homer writes of Aineias and he is the second greatest fighter among the Trojans. He is born of Aphrodite. Virgil, the guide in the Inferno wrote of Aineias' journey through Hell to save the one he loved. The son of the goddess of beauty does easily the most beautiful of feats in journeying into the land of the dead to save the woman he loves.

Dante is amazing in so many ways. I hear hat Dante did not have access to Homer. This does not take away from Dante but only goes to show how great Virgil was. For Dante to pull so much from Homer through another source Virgil must be a great poet as well.

I am sorry if I ramble on but I really enjoy these men and their works.

Big ups Rez for being a part of maybe the greatest thread of literature ever.
