Paradise Lost

i love this book.  but dealing with it at 6am, might be less than ideal...  okay, okay.  dealing with it at 6am, IS less than ideal.

better planning ahead will happen in the future...

ps.  every time i read this, i confront the issue of how Milton makes satan kind of appealing and sympathetic.  he gives such good speeches.  the power of words is really quite amazing.  i'm constantly struck by Milton's genius.  reading this does more for me in terms of sparking interest in and thought about big issues like free will, predestination, sin, salvation, grace, justice, etc. than many a theology book i've picked up.  it's pretty incredible stuff.
