"The Inferno" by Dante Alighieri, has anyone of you read it?  It is a very good book, if you havent read it or would like to know more about it, dont type, just read.  For those of you who have read it, lets start off on your favorite canto or part of the book.

O world-egg, hear me.
I am Horus of millions of years.
I am lord and master of the throne
Freed from evil, I traverse the ages
and spaces that are endless.
I only watch [adult swim]

OK!  I'll start off.  Right now I am in the canto where Virgil and Dante are going in to Bolgia 5, where the grafters go.  Can anyone tell me what a grafter is?  I'm left confused because the dictionary does not give a clear enough description.  Anyways, the grafters are put into a deep black pitch.  If they submerge from the pitch, a big winged demon tears them apart with a sharp grappling hook.  But my favorite part is when they get to the ring of the gluttons, where they are endlessly ripped apart by Cerberus, while bathing in black snow that reeches of a wretched stench.

O world-egg, hear me.
I am Horus of millions of years.
I am lord and master of the throne
Freed from evil, I traverse the ages
and spaces that are endless.
I only watch [adult swim]

No-one reads here, do they?  Man, I must look like a retard!

O world-egg, hear me.

Freed from evil, I traverse the ages
and spaces that are endless.
