The abridged version of Dante's Inferno, as read aloud by Heathcote Williams - It's brilliant.
The language is more modern, and yet this story - It's blowing my mind right now.
This book, Dante's Inferno, is a classic for a reason.
It's like a movie running in my head now, and it sure provides material to excite the brain. I'm not trying to develop tastes for paganism or anything like that, but this - This kind of classic story and imagery... Is way awesome.
It's of epic proportions. Think Shakespeare. Think big questions. This kind of stuff is truly good material for the stage. The theater of the mind.
It's all very interesting.
It's about Man. It's about Good, and Evil. It's so not pagan. u_u
It's about all that Man can be, in fact. That's why it's a classic. I love it when Man gets to rant about choosing between Good and Evil, and all that heroic crap. :)
I like stories about human nature.
Can I possibly become a writer or something along that line?
Is this a phase? Or do I really only like writing stuff; being on the creative side of things?
Okay, stop blogging. Going back to the CD, hey.
Anyway, because I'm sort of on break now, I'm gonna get my hands on all these movies and books which I normally don't have time to consume. :)

"When thou shalt be before the radiance sweet
Of her whose beauteous eyes all things behold,
From her thou'lt know the journey of thy life."
- Dante's Inferno, Canto X
Referring to the original text online while listening to the abridged modern version actually takes me through the book a whole lot faster and easier. I'm one-third through it.
