In my edition the first book is about 30 pages.
Oh ok. That I can do.
The only reason I suggested you try the others is that some people have trouble reading verse for a long time. If you can handle that, you can handle Milton. Legolas is spot on about the religious stuff, but there are gems in between.
Yeah. I didn't really notice the verse to much in those though. Just flipping through Paradise Lost you can tell it is poetry.
But I think I may try it. It could be a fun experience!
Oh and my username is what it is because I couldn't think of a better username...I'm not trying to be obnoxious.

The word "book" is a bit misleading, they're really more like chapters.

I've started to read it three times and put it down due to the style.

Yeah, if you really dislike the style, it really may not be worth forcing yourself through.
