2010 Independant reading book choice

Book: The Inferno of Dante, a new verse translation
Author: Robert Pinsky
Reason why: I want to read this book because it has a video game coming out soon. While playing the demo and watching trailers I became interested in the story and the idea of there being 9 circles of hell. The book is also written interestingly, most of it is one big poem. I am excited to be able to read this book but it may be a challenge. I feel ready for a reading challenge. The context of the book and way its written is new to me. I know there will be no lack of vocabulary words and I will probably have a lot of ideas on this book. I also want to read it because it seems like something I can make reference to. I will probably read for 30 minutes a night or so because I am pretty sure that I won’t be able to finish it. I am planning on finishing it on my own time. This version of the book also gets a lot of praise from reviews as being the best.
