Paradise Lost and Why You Should Read “Hard” Books
Quite obviously, I had finished reading Paradise Lost by John Milton. Sadly, it had taken me four days to finish it, and this is indeed a sad stat to give you since I try to finish a book in three days at the most. But I must say I quite enjoyed this epic, and this… Continue reading Paradise Lost and Why You Should Read “Hard” Books
