I'm rather fond of Mellifluous. Because it's.. well... mellifluous:rolleyes:

I used to be a fantasy book reader.. Jordan, G.R.R.M. , Tolkien, etc. You mentioned Tad Williams and I think he is worth you checking out. Try the Dragonbone Chair, book 1 in the Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn series. I was in a book store and had someone recommend that book to me. I read the...

Thanks for the correction! :) I wouldn't have looked it up myself, and would have been arguing with people over it in the future I'm sure, lol. I guess this means Milton was being a little gutsy after all.

Glad to help. The crusades are a fun subject and they've become even more relevant in recent years. Happy reading!

Last semester at Rutgers I took an excellent history course: "The emergence of Medieval Europe." It basically covered the fall of the Western Roman Empire to the end of the first crusade. One of the books we were assigned by our professor was Thomas Asbridge's "The First Crusade." Great...

Ah, didn't know that. Well that was a good move then, lol.

Old Bridge, New Jersey, USA, Earth I'm a student at Rutgers, majoring in Philosophy

Yes! :) Usually I have total silence at home, but living at my aunt and uncle's and in the dorms ear plugs became essential. I find it impossible to concentrate fully with background noise.

My major is Philosophy... Minor is English (possibly History... I'm not decided yet) Well, with a philosophy degree teaching is what's expected but I really have no desire to spend my life in academia. I'm just going to play things by ear for a while and see where I go.

I'll agree that Satan is by far the most interesting part of the story...especially if you aren't Christian and/or uninterested in justifying God's ways. It's been awhile since I last read it (2 years?), but I do think the end is fascinating because Milton calls for democracy or at least...

I find that college gives me lots of time to read, not to mention lots of assigned reading. I have no classes on some days, and I'm about as bad a procrastinator as they come... So I basically read books when I should be studying say.. geology..:rolleyes: I guess living at home helps too...

Well, I figured I should probably introduce myself here before contributing elsewhere in the forum. So with that, Hello. I'm a student of philosophy at Rutgers University, and interested in this forum because my friends are mostly indifferent to literature. I hope to find here a group of...
