Time to go listen to "Heaven Can Wait."

Is Paradise Lost any good as a fun read or is it strictly for the academics?

(Anonymous) 2014-11-07 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
"Paradise Lost is one of the books which the reader admires and puts down, and forgets to take up again. None ever wished it longer than it is."

(Anonymous) 2014-11-07 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
^Accurate.

(Anonymous) 2014-11-07 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
I'd say omg no, it's not a fun read. Interesting in bits, and for the analysis of its themes, but not a real page-turner.

(Anonymous) 2014-11-07 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
I'd say it depends. i didn't personally enjoy it, but if you're into epic poems, it's definitely that.

I wouldn't call it a fun read, but when I had to read it for a Renaissance English Literature class, I really got into it. I had an excellent professor who was a big fan of it, which helped.

Yeah, I took a Milton class in college after having another course in which we read Paradise Lost. The prof for the Milton class was so much fun and so into it that it was like reading an entirely different version of the text. It made all the difference.

I have to say that even the shittiest high school English teacher I ever had broadened my understanding of the stuff I read, and I've had excellent English professors who make the experience of reading incredibly rich. And that was at a land-grant school which is better known for excellence in agronomy and engineering than English.

Parts of it can be--the section in which Adam keeps bugging one of the angels to explain whether the (all male) angels have sex with each other is pretty funny, if you're comfortable with the language and syntax.

this is the exact reason why i didn't want to major in english and why i side-eye anyone who thinks i would want to.

i like to write on my own time about my own original content. and "english" has always been my best subject in school. but writing essays is terrible, i hate analyzing fiction unless it's something i really care about, and just because i'm good at it doesn't mean i want to do it for the next 50 years.

good luck to you.

I loved being an English Major, but I did find it the requirements were designed with the assumption that you intended to be a scholar or a librarian, neither of which I had any desire to be.

At least you got something out of your degree, OP.) I studied Management/Economics and am none the wiser about anything. It's a bit sad when you think about it. Lost years.

(Anonymous) 2014-11-07 02:06 pm (UTC)(link)
That is.. scarily accurate, imo.

(Anonymous) 2014-11-08 06:24 am (UTC)(link)
Ahahahahaha.... ha. *cradles head in hands*

(Anonymous) 2014-11-07 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
Damn it, now I have "What Do You Do With A BA In English" stuck in my head.

(Anonymous) 2014-11-07 07:59 am (UTC)(link)
People like you are the reason why English majors get a bad name as 'that thing people major in when they're not good at anything else'

(Anonymous) 2014-11-07 11:04 am (UTC)(link)
Ouch...? OP doesn't speak for all English Majors.

(Anonymous) 2014-11-07 07:31 pm (UTC)(link)
#NotAllEnglishMajors?

(Anonymous) 2014-11-08 06:25 am (UTC)(link)
She didn't say she wasn't good at anything else, just that she was good at English.

I thought I'd enjoy it because I love reading... pfeh! At least I double-majored with something I do like...
