I've not read Paradise Lost, yet. However, your video talking about it makes me want to. I'll be putting that on my list, for sure!
@@kelleymcfadin You will not regret it! It was so worth it 😄
“And that’s the literary way to flirt with your man.” 😂 Loved this!
@@robinkirk1821 Thank you 😂 I’m glad my husband fell in love with a dork.
Good that you are happy with your life choices. Sounds very different from mine. But the book sounds interesting. The person who got the role as Sauron in the serie "The Rings of Power", read from this book in his audition for the role , if you are familiar with that world. It was a monolog by Satan he was asked to read. Guess that is why your video comes up in my feed.
@@gunnhildk6299 It’s a very thought provoking book that I would recommend to anyone. I would like to read Tolkien’s works then dive into the screen adaptations but I could see why someone would use it for an audition. I’ll remember that whenever I get to it to see how that character fits the role.
I read that this year as well as the Lewis book about it. There were parts I didn’t like as much, and other parts that I thought were beautifully written and fascinating.
@@CandlewickLibrary there were definitely some places that I had to push myself to get through and others that I loved. It was a tough read but well worth it. I’m glad you read them both too 😄 Did you like Lewis’s perspective?
@@humblyhaley I did, but I kind of wish I had read Paradise Lost first and then Lewis’ book instead of the other way around.
@@CandlewickLibrary I went back and listened to his chapters on Satan and Adam and Eve on audiobook after I finished Paradise Lost so I understand what you mean
