If you have been satisfied with Dan Brown's previous books, I have little doubt that you would consider "Inferno" worth reading...Personally, I'm so used to non-fiction that I blow through these novels quickly and they seem like a vacation. It is interesting the way Brown and the characters use Dante as prophecy to create the drama. I can see this being an interesting movie...

Cool thanks! My wife bought the book and I just wanted to be sure not to waste time reading any forgettable book. I'll look forward to get started.

No, but I am a big Neitzsche fan and its on my list. Keep me updated if its good?
I arrived at page 162 right now and I don't really like this book, kind of boring, although I do have a long time interest in the works of mr. Nietzsche..
Maybe it is because this is the third book in a row I'm reading from Yalom, so I don't rule out the possibility I've been exposed to a Freudian overload..
I'll give this book one more go in a few month..
In my opinion 'The Schopenhauer Cure' and 'The Spinoza Problem' are considerably better, but maybe because I prefer Schopenhauer and Spinoza in general above Nietzsche, so it's very personal..
Cheers ..
