... Haven't started reading Gulliver book four yet. I should get on that.
Fiction is currently consuming my working soul. Gotta get my portfolio done by Tuesday... argh. I wanna read Gulliver, but it seems like getting to it is taking an assload of time.
Watching Supernatural is getting my excited for Paradise Lost, though. "Please allow me to introduce myself: I'm John Milton, a man of wealth and taste, and this is Lucifer, the most intriguing character ever written." Lucifer/Satan/The Devil is quite possibly my favorite character in anything, because I relate to him in a lot of ways. Pride is a very deadly sin (though my own personal sin is wrath), but it's also something that everyone has in some measure, and I don't feel like the things that happened to Lucifer were necessarily deserved. At the same time, he is, of course, the perfect evil, and that needs to be taken into account. "The deceiver," right? As a person who deeply advocates honesty and doing the right thing regardless of consequences, I've still gotta be like, "Well, fuck you, Satan!" I still feel bad for the pitchfork-carrying bugger, tho.
So, yeah. Getting through Gulliver so I can reach the darkness at the end of the tunnel. How I look forward to this...
