The key to reading Dante’s work is to follow your own pacing. Do not rush, this masterpiece is meant to be enjoyed. There are times I leave the pages, just stare at the illustrations, or go to to the internet and check some background on specific canto.

Today’s #bookquote:

The rope that pulls you from the flood can become a noose around your neck.

The writing style is beautiful and poetic—it feels like a song or a poem rather than a novel at times. There are moments when the language is so vivid and descriptive that you can almost picture yourself there in the marshlands with the main character Kya as she experiences her life-changing events.

Every book-lover
has a special 
reading nook.

Spent the weekend fixing this blog. Transferred and posted almost half of my book reviews. But it’s looking good. Received 3 emails from authors the past couple of weeks, looking forward to read their novels. Next weekend, I will posts the remaining books, museum and vineyard tours.
