Well, I had a lovely surprise when I saw your comment on the sign up post. 🙂I would like to read Dante one of these days but I’d like to get a translation that makes it as easy as possible for me. Do you have a certain translation in mind?
Hi Carol! I have read John Ciardi's translation and some of Dorothy Sayers' Paradise. This new copy of The Inferno came my way and I've been waiting to see what it's like.
Lovely and ambitious list! :)
Wow, it looks like you have a busy reading year ahead of you! The Inferno was marvellous both poetically and historically. Charlotte Mason all the way and i've heard that Buechner is an excellent writer. Enjoy your challenge! :-)
