The Divine Comedy might take you well into the next year unless you have a special knack for it. Whose translation were you able to get?
The first copy I was able to read was Allen Mandelbaum’s which struck me as beautifully written, if a little too dense for me. I remember liking John Ciardi’s (older?) translation more because it seemed simpler.
