    I'd like to read Game of Thrones in english as well, but i already have so many other books to read !
    And i'm afraid i won't find the reading as entertaining as i should since i've already seen the tv show, even though it's not exactly the same, i already know who's going to die :lol:

    Woh! You began GoT in books! It's been like 2 years since I've told myself I need to read them, but I haven't find the proper time.
    So how is it? Difficult? Easy? I'm curious =D


    Hey beckygirly

    I finished the first book and it is not really difficult. There are some words that I didn't know but the general meaning is really easy to understand (and I've never seen the series :-))

    Hey elizewyn

    Sure it won't be as entertaining as you already know what's going on. But maybe someday you will read them. I'm sure you will ;)

    I read 4 of them. i basically read one GoT per year. They are quite big (around 1000 pages) and I read slowly in English, so I usually wait one year before starting the next one ! The style is peculiar but not difficult for a French native speaker since most of the odd words have a latin origin. The first books are very similar to the show but they are progressively drifting from each other. I personnaly enjoy reading them even though I first saw the show. but seriously, I already hate the character of Jon Snow in the show, but in the books ... :vomi:

    Oh ? Why do you hate Jon ?

    I don't mind big books, but i think i'm gonna wait until the show is over to start reading the books :)

    Unrelated topic. I mean, book.
    I've just found "I don't want to kill you" by Dan Wells in my library woopwoop! I think I still was in Strasbourg when I read the two first novels of the series. Now the third book is mine... for 24 days.
    Do you know the John Wayne Cleaver series? It's about a young psychopath who struggles not to kill people. Until some gruesome murders happen in his small quiet town... It's something like "a young Dexter Morgan with a touch of supernatural". The tone is quite fun.

    Hi everyone !

    I'm currently reading Will & Will (Will Grayson, Will Grayson) by John Green. In fact, I've been into it since 8 months or something like that. I feel like I don't want to continue this story even if John Green is one of my favourite writer ... I don't know if it's because of the English language or the story that I seem to not like. I'm not into it I think. But I really want to finish this book ! I'm in the middle of it.
    Have you read it ? Perhaps in French ?
    I hope I will finish this book soon.
    Bye see you later.

    I haven't read it but i wanted to, what don't you like about it ?
    If you really not enjoying yourself, maybe you should try to read something else ? Do you read in english often ?

    I feel like I don't really understand the story : at the 100th page, i finally understood that there were two different characters who were telling their story chapter by chapter... I didn't know that ! So I think i need to re-read all of it, start over. (since i've began this book a long time ago like i said)

    I read other books other than this one, for sure. But i still have my bookmark inside of this one and i really want to finish it. (I don't like to not finish a book actually ...) I do read English books, well i read about 5 or 10 books in English for now.
