Dante Alighieri: The Divine Comedy: The Inferno:
Makes me not want to go hell, that’s for sure. But according to Dante there is are ring for me. Thanks Dante. If it wasn’t for the intro, I would be lost. So to avoid three beasts, Virgil takes him through hell. My kind of guide. Abandon all hope, haven’t we done that all ready in life? This guy is name dropping like it is going out of style. This is what I believe to be the first book describing what hell looks like, and what level of sin is correlated to the realm/level of hell he or she belongs to. A lot of name dropping.

I am going to start the Green belt throw
