I am very excited to read Dante's Inferno as well as A Man in a High Castle. I don't know if they are actually that good but the way Wai Chee described them made them sound excellent. I also want to read Dante's Inferno because I just feel that it is a part of our culture. I feel like I am on the outside of an inside joke by not reading Dante's Inferno. I agree with Shayna S about Persepolis as well. It seems to be a part of pop culture and I want to know why everyone says it is so good. I think watching the movie versus reading the graphic novel is a very different experience but I guess it is a good in between for those who do not want to read the graphic novel (although I REALLY want to). I just feel like the movie will not be have the same effect and will somehow ruin the original like some of the Alice adaptations had very little of the actual Alice. Maybe I am just being paranoid. I would love to see Stardust because if there is a definition for fantasy I think Stardust fulfills all the requirements. House also sounds like a really fun idea and a good way to end the class (good job finding that episode nk0825).
