On a Dante Binge
Taking up another recommendation from Bookpuddle, I'm reading The Dante Club, a novel about a mysterious murderer has turned entrails of Dante's punishment in The Inferno (which I'm also reading)into model of murders. The scholars of a Bostonian Dante Club thrive to remain silent and protect literary existence of the Italian poet. Off to vacation until next week.

Interesting vacation reading material.... Enjoy your time off!
You'll have to post about The Dante Club--I keep picking it up and then putting it down. Can't decide. Have a nice vacation!!
Enjoy your vacation! Can't wait to see all the gorgeous pictures I'm sure you'll be taking.
I have this but have never read it...beautiful hardback book but I just haven't gotten to it. Am curious as to what you think of it.
I see he has a new book out about Edgar Allan Poe who I love that I may end up picking up.
Hope you're having fun and then entrails never enter the picture other than in fiction!
Is it good? Is it good? Is it good?
Isn't it good? Isn't it good?
I LOVED that book!
Hope you do, too.

Thank you everyone. I had a great time relaxing--it was a truly quiet getaway although it was merely a couple hours away.
I enjoyed Dante Club alot--almost coming to an end and I have already missed the process of reading it!
Danielle, if you're still plowing through W&P you might want to wait.
Carl V., you won't be disappointed with this one. Also I have to check out your blog, it looks very well-done.
I'm indebted to Dave (Cipriano) who recommended the book to me. Yes yes yes, it's good. It's very good. Beguiling, intriguing, and suspenseful.
Matty, it was good seeing you outside SI today. I've got pictures on the right hand side link. Check them out!
Thanks, you are welcome anytime.
