Guys, I'm reading Paradise Lost and its absolutely beautiful. A true masterpiece of prose. It was dictated by a blind guy too. I'm only a little ways into the book, but I can see why people appreciate great works of literature like this. Next on my list is Don Quixote, I've already read it, but I fear I've forgotten it. This should be a good reminder of the story, when I'm done with Paradise Lost. Have you guys ever read either? What do you think of Milton? Cervantes?

That one is the catholic one, right? Or am I mistaking it with Canterbury Tales?

You seriously don't know what Paradise Lost is? What are you doing here? Also, Chaucer was alright but JON Milton was BLIND. He couldn't see what WAS GOING ON IN FRONT OF HIM. He had to DICTATE HIS PLANS FOR WRITING. That's fucking badass. Chaucer has nothing on that.

Yeah Paradise Lost is amazing. "To justify the ways of God to men". What an inspiring line. God is arbitrary. He does not play favorites. You sin, you will be punished. He also presides over those who would seek to atone, but are held back by the sins of others. Paradise Lost encapsulates the struggle of Lucifer, and highlights the haunting reality of a hero who could have had everything, but lost it with a tragic flaw.

>Paradise Lost is an epic poem in blank verse by the 17th-century English poet John Milton. The first version, published in 1667, consisted of ten books with over ten thousand lines of verse.
