I'm conducting an experiment on myself this weekend.

The experiment is called: "is it possible to read the entirety of Paradise Lost in three days time?"

I'm turning reading into an extreme sport! I know, not a good idea. But it's okay, if I fail, lessons will be learned and all that. Hopefully, at least.

We’ll cheer you on from the sidelines and give you GatorAde when you falter. B^)}

I was going to suggest viewing some film versions by way of contrast, but was surprised to find that neither IMDB nor Maltin’s Movie Guide list any film based on Milton’s epic. I don’t know quite what this means, but I found it interesting.

Haha, best of luck! A tip - when you find yourself starting to fall asleep, try reading it out loud in a declamatory fashion and scaring your roommates. I find this to be a very good strategy. :)
