I absolutely love it! I know next to nothing about poetry but I can feel how well the verse flows and the images Milton gives us are stupendous. I can tell right away I will read this again and again.<br /><br />This same experience happened to me when I read The Iliad: I thought it was going to be so difficult and that I wouldn't like it, but it turned into one of my top 10 classics.<br /><br />An audiobook is an excellent idea. I'm trying to read it aloud but an audiobook would be alot less work. :-)Cleohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13152128642971612433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7495382709151625398.post-11519700479891073822014-01-10T10:55:39.631-08:002014-01-10T10:55:39.631-08:00How do you like the Paradise Lost so far?

I had the same experience with <i>The Iliad</i>; I thought I wouldn't like it but it ended up being one of my favourite books. <br /><br />Thanks for the good wishes!Cleohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13152128642971612433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7495382709151625398.post-28586294900351528362014-01-06T19:46:36.402-08:002014-01-06T19:46:36.402-08:00I really wish I could read it with everyone, but m...I really wish I could read it with everyone, but my January is so stuffed with other books it looks like a Christmas turkey.
