Tomorrow, I will finish reading Dante’s Divine Comedy along with 100daysofdante.com! I have found Paradise to be the most challenging part to comprehend, but the video lectures and the incentive to finish by Easter have helped me to keep going. 🙂 I haven’t saved many quotes from the Divine Comedy for my commonplace journal, but this one from Canto Twenty-six, where Dante is examined on the subject of love by Saint John, is lovely and seemed appropriate for this Easter weekend.
Also read/listened to recently:
- Hubby: just finished Mere Christianity for the first time!
- Me: listened to The Enchanted April again in anticipation of the next Literary Life podcast episode.
- Miss A: 168 Hours: You Have More Time Than You Think
- Mr. D: a new term means new literature: One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich, The Outsiders, and The Old Man and the Sea
- Mr. E: he’s started Pride and Prejudice 😀
- Mr. L: he found the first chapter of Kipling’s Kim challenging, but I think he’ll do fine.
- Mr. R: he’s currently reading The Mouse and the Motorcycle to me and enjoying it. 🙂
- Read-alouds: The Vanderbeekers Make a Wish when Miss A is around at lunch, and The Warden and the Wolf King with the boys
A blessed Easter to you!
