Welcome to online English Lit. class everyone! As we dive into Dante’s Inferno, here are some photos of my personal copy of this epic masterpiece. I will try to post updates every Friday, which I will hereunto be referring to as “Infernal Fridays.” 🖤❤️‍🔥

You ever heard of Messy Mondays by Joshua and Jordan Taylor of Blimey Cow fame? Yeah, this is the inverse of that. 😉😂🤣🙃

Grab yourself a copy, digital or physical, because this is gonna be LIT!!! 🔥🔥🔥

(Literally, LIT, as in literature, Hellfire, alright you get the pun now…) 🤡

Due to an unexpected bout with a nasty virus, I have been hindered in my efforts to make significant progress with anything, including this page. However, as soon as I fully recover (which hopefully will only be a couple more days), I plan on a triumphant return to the Land of the Living as we dive into Dante’s journey through the Underworld. (AKA the Seven *Catholic* levels of Hell) 🔥🔥🔥

A special shout-out to Johannes Gutenberg: Without him, we would probably still be using scrolls today! The book publication process is both lengthy and pricey, even more so hundreds of years ago. Thank goodness he invented the printing press so the world could enjoy holding physical books in the palms of their hands! 🙌🏻 📖
