| Duccio, "Apostle Jacob" |
I’m concurrently starting both Milton’s PL and Dante’s DC. I’m three days in to Milton and on my canto 2 of the Inferno. So just as I’m on my way into hell with Virgil and Dante, I’m on my way out of hell with Satan. Good grief. Talk about Out of the frying pan and into the fire.
I’m doing PL on tape. I’ll tell you the name of the reader, he’s excellent. I listened him do Gulag Archipelago. I’m doing Dante the old fashioned way.
This is just, perhaps a progress report, not a book report. I may offer a thing or two that strike me. With Dante, I read canto 1 out loud. Not bad. PL, I’m following the drama so far. I like the explanatory prefaces at the start of the chapters/books. Helps me know where we’re going.
