I took a whole class on Milton, which basically consisted of reading all of Paradise Lost and a little bit of Samson Agonistes (can't remember if I'm spelling that correctly). It was my favorite class of all time. We had the greatest arguments about everything from the existence of God to feminism. So fun!

I didn't read that much of The Faerie Queen. My intro Brit Lit class was a bunch of slackers and refused to read anymore than about 1/4 of it, so the prof decided that we should move on to something else. I was very happy to do that because I couldn't get into it, either.
