Read Divine Comedy instead

Because it is. Paradise Loft is amazing bible fanfic, with the most incredible love story in ANY book of fiction.

Also, Satin is NOT the good guy.

"And so it was that humanity would come to know the world they once lived as Paradise Lost." Fucking Milton really? You hack.

He's not really a good guy there. More neutral.

>> No.7925327

Paradise Lost is _the_ very thing written in this language. He impoverishes himself who decides it is not worth his while. It is meant to be read slowly, one book at a time, with a few days in between for the purpose of a healthy digestion. One cannot have steak for dinner every night.
