I think I did once. As I remember it, most of it went completely over my head.

I have it. I’ve tried reading it a few times, got about halfway through. I found it beautiful, difficult, adoring, and maddening. So I named my Doberman after it.

Yes in Italian La Divina Commedia, we had a special course of Italian literature when I studied Italian Language.

In multiple English translations. I’ve played around with the Italian original and am slowly now trying to go through the whole thing in Italian.

I read it, but I was an English major in college. It’s definitely not light reading, but fun when you get the hang of it.

Yes, I read The Divine Comedy in College. It was a part of graduate class seminar.
It’s murky, and dark. It’s a little easier read if you get modern transaction like Mandelbaum

Yes. It’s very political. If you can digest the politics and comprehend the history, it’s a good one. It was slow going for me because I am not very savvy on the political/historical stuff of that time.
