I don't think so. The Purgatorio especially was a great read.
But to each his own.
I'm reading now (besides school books)
Guns, Germs, and Steel by Jared Diamond (Excellent book, look it up sometime. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guns,_Germs,_and_Steel )
Les Liaisons Dangereuses by Pierre Chorderlos de Laclos (its the work Cruel Intentions was based off of. It is NOT some teen drama, no worries. Its a commentary on pre revolutionary french aristocracy. Its interesting so far.) |

I loved it especially because I read it right after seeing Seven. Great accompanying material if you ask me. |

Just finished "Musicophilia:Tales of music and the brain" by Oliver Sacks about three days ago.
I'm currently reading "After Dark" by Haruki Murakami.
I think next i'll most likely read "Do androids dream of electric sheep" by Philip K. Dick.:) |

This will be my 6th or 7th time to read it. It's my favorite story of all time. The story is the oldest recorded in history that basically all stories written since take their structure from (a protagonist, an antagonist, defined struggles, etc). I think it's appeal is mainly because of that instead of the actual story itself.
It's not a very long book. Give it a try. |
