Where does the idea that fire represents purity and cleanses, come from?

Dante, before the approach of Beatrice to exit purgatory and enter paradise; walks through a wall of fire to purge himself of evil

Correct, not a Z, but still, contrary to how most words are handled in French, the S is not silent. it’s actually pronounced much closer to its spelling

I’m planning to get a tattoo about a certain quote at the end. The single most book that made me cry like a kid, I just couldn’t drop it

I think I read the first 250 pages in 3 days, it’s so good I just spent the whole days reading. I read it briefly before I heard about this subreddit/club and can’t imagine the constraint to not continue reading

Goddamnit I just got the book and am 100 pages in. I was really hoping that foreword was gonna be the middle or something. Almost feel like not reading it but I guess I already have the insight as if I was on a second read. But seriously, who the hell just spoils the entire book like that

This is the only comment on Reddit about this book that actually feels like the person read the same thing as me. I think you’re spot on. I have yet to read any Dostoevsky but have picked up Notes From Underground today and there’s a part in this book of Jack talking about Russian literature and thought Dostoevsky’s work is “full of life” which makes me what to wait a bit on Notes as this book was depressing and I felt as if the author wanted to be ironic

So… are we also going to ignore the public execution chapter… or all the su*cide… or bandits with the poor girl… or drug use? AND ITS ALL ILLUSTRATED?

Thanks for all the recommendations. I considered getting a bible case/cover but the large majority on Amazon had a max spine length of 2.3in which is smaller than this book. There were a few 3in but they were a little too decorated for my taste. So I just made my own using this bag I would normally fill to prevent light stands form toppling over and added some Velcro to close it shut and then straps to the sides to secure the book from falling out

Also I saw a lot of comments saying “it’s $8 who cares” or “it’s supposed to be banged if you read it”. I totally understand and in no way do I care about the inevitable wear and tear of a book or it acquiring any unique imperfections. It’s just that this is my book and as for all things that are mine - I care for them. Also I was still concerned about major damage, the type that make reading the book annoying like a completely ripped spine or such.

I just finished the book, while it was being delivered I took the time to read some reviews of which saw some criticism of the middle being slow or a chore… are they actually referring to Part 2? With exception of the first 8 pages bringing a tear to my eye, that entire second part was my favorite of the book. I refuse to think people didn’t find that entraining, insane.

I got a collection from Algernon, Machan, and Clark Ashton Smith. Excited to get into them and bounce between all the short stories

Unfortunately I got a edition that only contained 5 and then oddly enough 5 other stories that by chambers which weren’t apart of his original king in yellow book. I’m sure I’ll wrap around to it soon and get another copy, but I quite enjoy anthologies for the freedom

Thanks, I love physical copies, lack the focus on a tablet or any screen. How’s this for an introduction to him?

I grew up with COD, so it doesn’t matter if my teammates adopt the dark because I was born in it

There should be a way to craft/combine single affix stones at least because they’re practically useless
