Ok I know Dante is amazing for all the careful attention to details across the whole Comedia and for his commentary on politics and morality, but really I just think Inferno is a fun read. I love the fun demon adventure, Virgil and Dante's dynamic, Dante's audacity to add real people from his life in hell, and I really enjoy Ciardi's translated verse. 

If you like medieval or early modern literature and love all things gay and adventure, might be for you :)
