Finished Paradise Lost. The whole 'I am God and I will make Adam suffer because I can'-vibe put me off a bit, but Milton did have a way with words. What's the use of free will if you know beforehand that man will falter and disobey you? And I am a bit miffed with the way Eve is upposed to be a good and submissive wife to Adam, but that's 20th-century me looking at a 17th-century book.
Staying with religious literature, I'm now reading The Divine Comedy by Dante. He's already made it to Paradise.
Maybe after this I should dig up Mel's copy of Mere Christianity, for some religious non-fiction. I think I could use it after Medieval views on the One True Church.
