Thank you for putting this together! I'm very excited to get started. 7 at at time won't be an imposing amount of reading but should make for loads of things to discuss each week.

A canto per day keeps boredom away (as I like to say).
Sounds good. Thanks for putting this together.

I like the catch up time built into it, and reading a canto a day is definitely manageable.
So happy I was reminded of this group read before it started, so excited for the read and happy for a very doable schedule!
Just got a 1957 edition of Henry Francis Cary's translation. A battered, well-used, beautiful copy from a tiny bookstore. Can't wait to start.
I'm so very pleased I was able to find this group before everything started! I recently got my third (shh; they're pretty and collecting multiple versions is fun!) copy of the Divine Comedy and can't wait to delve into it.
I've had this on my to read list for a million years and started it three times and never finished. I'm not sure what will happen this time as I'm committed to a number of books already. But I think it no coincidence I found the group so early on. I'll be reading the Mandelbaum translation. I bought it when it came out in paperback because of the amazing Barry Moser illustrations.
