I've just finished book 1 (of 12). I'm unabashedly excited to see where this goes - the setup, structure, and prose are emulating the Aeneid wherever/whenever possible. The two points Milton has really strived to make are 1. It's better to reign in hell than serve in heaven (bars) 2. The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a Heaven of Hell, a Hell of Heaven. More on that later ;)

It's a much shorter poem than you might think. Here ends the poem; the rest is Bible excerpts, religious essays Milton wrote, others' essays ABOUT the poem... I'm just reading the poem.

"...the rest, far greater part/
Will deem in outward rites and specious forms/
Religion satisfied; Truth shall retire/
Bestuck with sland'rous darts, and works of faith/
Rarely be found."
Well, good thing Michael/Milton warned us of that, and we avoided false faith and "Christians" in name only...
