Overheard at the cafe



Our oldest is currently reading Dante's Inferno (translated by Dorothy Sayers) for Great Books class. Over the cafe table, her dad was amused to watch her grimacing and wincing as she read the vivid descriptions of the circles of hell.

At one point in her reading she commented, "Oh, can you imagine what Peter Jackson could do with this?" We all decided that we would rather not, thank you very much.
