Great Reads Book Group: Dante's Divine Comedy

This weekly book group will meet each week to discuss assigned sections of Dante's The Divine Comedy.

Sign up for an excuse to read (or reread) classical works of literature.

To facilitate discussion, I will highlight some key points in each of the assigned readings and then we will open the floor for discussion.
