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.

Cancer never fights fair. Rest in peace Mrs. Cohen, you will be missed.

The word "book" is a bit misleading, they're really more like chapters. Legolas - 12/01/2011 06:22:38 PM 779 Views
I'm glad we agree on so much. Legolas - 12/01/2011 06:50:27 PM 827 Views

I thought I'd have a short response Larry - 12/01/2011 12:13:48 AM 966 Views
OK, I blogged about my own reaction to it Larry - 12/01/2011 05:26:18 AM 980 Views
Not that much in there that I disagree with, actually. Legolas - 12/01/2011 06:30:28 PM 767 Views
With the utility of the religious discussion in poetic form Larry - 12/01/2011 06:50:30 PM 784 Views
Well, if I'd found really all of those Heaven books boring, I'm not sure I'd have finished it. Legolas - 13/01/2011 09:53:19 PM 784 Views
I thought it was relatively weaker but still interesting Larry - 13/01/2011 10:02:39 PM 674 Views

I've started to read it three times and put it down due to the style. Tom - 12/01/2011 01:34:24 AM 812 Views
Yeah, if you really dislike the style, it really may not be worth forcing yourself through. Legolas - 12/01/2011 06:33:43 PM 698 Views
I have nothing to say except that I love Christopher Ricks. Ghavrel - 12/01/2011 05:53:41 AM 697 Views
Okay, i think I may change my classic from this to something else now *NM* Stephen - 12/01/2011 02:41:59 PM 431 Views
It certainly wasn't my intention to frighten people off. Like I said, I'm glad I read it. *NM* Legolas - 12/01/2011 06:31:31 PM 358 Views
