Inferno

So, I read Dan Brown’s Inferno and I liked it much better than the last one.  Loved Angels and Demons, Da Vinci Code, and now Inferno.  I really like that he keeps you turning the next page because its so fast pace you have to know what happens next.  But really my main reason for blogging about this is to mention an idea I had when I first read The Divine Comedy (yes, my name in Italian is the word ‘divine’!), and I thought if only I didn’t have to look up some of these words or people I don’t know.  There was always another reference to explaining something or other.  So I have recently began my own journey into the dark forest and through the Inferno (and eventually Purgatory and Paradise), in which the ye’s and thou’s will be gone, it will be in chapter form instead of a poem, and words changed if need be, while people are explained to be who they are in the text; but without taking away from the original work.  I am sure I am not the first person to attempt this endeavor, and I have no idea if anyone would publish it but it is something to do to distract me on my bad days.  It has kept me busy, and if no one wants to publish maybe it is a new blog idea after I post my life of 30 years in 30 days.
