Stuff I've read lately

"Paradise Lost" (John Milton)(audio) - This is one of those books you always hear mentioned by name, but no one ever talks about the details. Probably because the details are incredibly long winded...

I think the most amazing part was the whole thing is nine hours, and most of the time is spent with demons giving speeches to each other (and bizarre battle scenes where I lose track of who is fighting). In the last half hour, Milton covers all of history from Adam to the (his) present (~1600).
