Laying in hospital I finally got around to reading paradise lost. I’ve had the book for years and suspected it was going to be one of those that required additional thinking time at certain stages throughout the read. Yes I was spot on with my assumption. It was hard going but, I can actually see what people mean when they say it’s one of those books that everyone should try. It’s sort of a cultural touchstone I guess. I think it’s maybe one of those you read when you’re at a certain age idk. It’s old fashioned and not the most exciting book but I appreciate its influence and respect that it has probably shaped many people’s minds when they think of heaven and hell. #entertainment source
