Adam who?
Hey Burrell! how are you?! The room my Dante class is in doesn't have wireless, which is for the best because I should actually pay attention to what he's saying since reading Dante is like beating myself around the head with a board with nails protruding from it.
In grad school, Dante always came up, at least in certain classes. I mean, he wasn't the hoor that Melville was but still, came up way more than he should.
My problem is that my class is on Dante, so there is no escaping him. It could be worse. It could be Philosophy of Death.

This sounds like one of the punishments in Dante's Inferno, actually. Reserved for someone who needed an eternal cluesticking.
That Scottish story is so much more interesting as fiction than as truth.
Not for me. Too many things can happen in fiction -- I don't wonder at their plausibility, what makes people in
my
world go that far, do those things. In make-believe, stuff like that happens all the time.
Adam is Adam Carter, played by Rupert Penry Jones. Spooks. MI 5.
Shouldn't you be in bed, young lady? (That's addressed to msbelle, btw)
