For those that have known me for a while, that I speak with on a regular basis, should by now know I have a fondness for The Divine Comedy, especially the translation by Allen Mandelbaum.

As of late I had 3 copies of the complete poems, Cardi's in 3 volumes, Mandelbaum's also in 3 volumes and a final version in a single volume with another author's interpretation.

I am happy to say that I recently just purchased a copy of Mandelbaum's translation in a single volume, as well as hardcopy. It's an excellent edition and I look foreword to purchasing other editions in the future.

It is my fondness of The Divine Comedy that even lead me to read the whole of The Inferno to a significant other at the time. I rather enjoy sharing the story with other people. So if you ever happen upon a copy of it in a book store, think about getting it, it offers some pretty cool stuff for such an old story.

I also purchased Truman Capote's Breakfast at Tiffany's. It has a collection of other stories in there, and I've read one and I've enjoyed it.

On a final note, someone I'm not fond of is Kid Rock. He's a douche. Stop acting like you are from the South you cunt. You were born in Romeo, Michigan, not fucking Alabama. Stop pretending you are cockjock.

Achfoo: Randy Travis can suck on a grenade.
