John Milton · 1671 · Poetry
Milton's short sequel to Paradise Lost: Satan tempts Jesus in the wilderness with food, wealth, glory, kingdoms and learning, and is refused each time. Four books of blank verse, more argument than battle, about what it means to resist.
Pick a finish date and Genius lays out the days — the plan shows today's target and keeps you honest.
Start a circle and share the code — everyone sees everyone's honest place in the book. Accountability, not leaderboards.
