Which in general makes it all SO MUCH BETTER! Really, it doesn't get much better than a bitter dude who creates his own version of hell then sends all the people he hates to it for different reasonsHollow wrote: It gets better than that! The whole reason Dante wrote the damn book in the first place is because he was exiled from Florence. If you read the book closely enough (or were alive back then and knew who all the people he's talking about are) apparently 90% of the characters in the book were people he personally knew and blamed for his exile. It ended up printing and selling around 600 copies.
Inferno is basically a medieval diss track that went triple platinum.
EDIT: Fact checked.

Yeah there's some stuff I didn't agree with in some of Crimethinc's books....such as the part homeless and hungry being a sign your not doing it right. But I haven't seen that in the more recent stuff. For the most I enjoy the writting about the adventures.
Thanks for the suggestion i'll check out the Gunslinger series.

I definitely wouldn't suggest that Crimethinc is completely without merit. There are some really intelligent and well-spoken people who write under that label. However, there are so many, many more that seem to think that the worlds problems can be solved if we all just...you know...PARTY! WHOOO!!
If you're reading it mainly for the adventures, I think you're doing it right.
Definitely let me know what you think about the Gunslinger. Those books are awesome.

Sedaris does that. You don't mean to read it all, but then you look up and it's two in the morning.

I don't get around to reading much in the last year, but now that my XBOX live is up and I'm not going to renew it (and yes, I know that's a lame excuse) I finally finished Goodbye 20th Century: A History of Sonic Youth, and have just started Eating The Dinosaur by Chuck Klosterman. He's my favorite writer so I'm excited about reading it, finally.
