Abandon hope, all ye who enter...

“Through me the way is to the city dolent;

Through me the way is to eternal dole;

Through me the way among the people lost.

Justice incited my sublime Creator;

Created me divine Omnipotence,

The highest Wisdom and the primal Love.

Before me there were no created things,

Only eterne, and I eternal last.

All hope abandon, ye who enter in!” —Canto III

Dante's works are probably one of the best, if not the best thing I've ever read save the Koran.

I thought Dante's Inferno was a fiction book? But now that Aulian is comparing it with the Koran...

Is it a religious book?

...Not to say that all religious book AREN'T fiction. People like to keep those two categories separate for some reason ;)

Its part of an opium induced series of poems where a man is lead through heaven, purgatory and then hell by his friend and mentor who recently departed.

He does get to see alot of people he was notorious for disagreeing with in different levels of hell too, quite an interesting (and visually impressive) read.

Love the book, and the Boondock Saints was awesome. I agree the cuddle part was so grear. I use that scene to tell people about the movie. (I know, bad example to describe that movie, but I laugh when I think of it)

Well no, obviously they arent related :rolleyes:

I was merely saying that out of sheer enjoyment of anything I've read, those two are pretty close.
