It's a fairly interesting work of literary theory, although the author discusses music and the visual arts in addition to literature. My class will be reading Paradise Lost later this semester, which I am looking forward to.

It also didn't help that I'm not used to reading one page poems, let alone 400+ page poems! Please summerise what happens in the book!
Thanks!

Must you remain silent? I only know people who have read and enjoyed them, so I would like to hear a different side. Please tell me what you think!

It's pretty interesting to see how humans could have evolved under different circumstance (i.e. the existance of real mythological persons like the Snow Father (a.k.a. as the Santa Claus) or the Tooth Fairy.
Anyone else reads these books and can recommend any of them?
