Okay, instead of reading book 2 of Paradise lost I’ve been watching Spirited Away. I found it here and I figured why not, seeing as I like Howl’s Moving Castle so much and how I’ve heard people talk about it. It was okay but not as good as Howl’s Moving Castle, I think.
Also, since you last heard from me I’ve latched onto yet another anime .Hack//SIGN. All I can say in my defence is it’s fun, and I’m developing an addiction to anime . That’s about all I have to say. I’m tired but I’d better get to Paradise Lost.

    Get to paradise Lost. It's a good read once you get the hang of the writing. Do you like it?

    I love Spirited Away. Kohaku looks so sad, and reminds me of Artemis Fowl for some reason.

    Artemis Fowl? I'd never have made that connection. Artemis always seems so calculating to me, though now I think about it I can recall a few times when he seemed sad.

    Now, do I like paradise lost? Well, it's like Wife of Bath, it's not so bad when you can understand the story but when it suddenly goes on about this thing from the bible and then this thing from Greek mythology and this incident in roman history to add more weight to its point really annoys me. Why can't they just say it and give just one example if necessary? Why do they have to go on about it over and over again before returning to the story?
    However, despite all that I'm liking the story so far. I'd heard about it when we did Blake so the idea of Satan getting chucked out of Heaven appealed to me as I'd ever considered that idea before.
