Explications
aulsmith : Got halfway through hell and gave up.
sturlington : Read Inferno in college. Not sure of the point of reading the rest.
Arrashid7: I plan to read it this summer.
ManWithAnAgenda : Read, loved.
MyFathersDragon: I didn’t finish. I read some in Italian, but I am not very good with Italian. I read more in English translation, but I wanted to go back to the Italian, and never finished.

sturlington : Read in high school.
electrice : read
JalenV: Had to read it in high school.
ManWithAnAgenda : Read it. Hated. Read it. Loved it.
MyFathersDragon: I knew some of the high school English classes read it. I knew it was considered a classic. So, I decided I would read it. I did not like it. I am glad I read it, so I know what people are talking about when they bring it up, but I wouldn’t read it again.

Explications
tiddleyboom : Read it. Love Poe!
sturlington: This is very short; no reason not to read it.
JalenV: I don't have this particular copy, but I have the Poe book my parents gave me and the annotated tales of Poe. It's a good story.
ahef1963 : I don't like Poe, except for The Raven.
MyFathersDragon: I read a few of his poems in 3rd and 4th grade, liking them, so I read more of Poe when I came across him over the next few years, including this one. I don’t remember it well, now, but I remember liking it. It seems like that was in 6th grade.
