I've finished book 1. I like it. I like how Milton makes Satan an obvious villain, with horrid intent, and full of arrogance, but still, in a way, compelling. It's a beautiful book so far. I am also aware of it's significance to the English language, being a very early and unique object of it's kind. I like how even though i'm a pantheist and not a christian, this book is universally enjoyable and respectable.
