I've not tried
one of those books that I feel I should read, but generally I end up reading some sci fi or fantasy. or rereading terry pratchett

It's not that good, I was reading it because I thought it was worth reading
and to say that I read it. I wasn't enjoying it so I just gave up.

that's the best reason to stop reading something
almost every time I read something because I feel obliged to it turns out to be a disappointment.

Ha!
I managed to get through The Gulag archipelago by ALEXANDER SOLZHENITSYN. Don't ask me what it was about though because I can't remember.

give it a shot
but only read the Inferno part i.e. Hell. Purgatory and Heaven are really interesting if you've any interest in pre-Renaissance religious ideology or are just interested in development of religion in general/history, but they're quite heavy work.

Hell on the other hand is bizarre and occasionally brilliantly illustrated, and it gives you a huge frame of reference for understanding a lot of other works

you're welcome
I may be an academic bore/ retard occasionally, but I know what is good to read

And I admire your objectivity.

Devil May Cry?

that was a good game
quite wanky in places though, particularly the ending sequence.

with that though, I'm going home to wait for the virgin engineer. hopefully he will give me a new box.

I don't play Playstation
but over the course of a few month's worth of Sundays, I finished that game at a friends house

Dante's Inferno
It wasn't as good as God Of War though.
