Deliberating between "The Age of Miracles" and "A Game of Thrones" .
I am a terrible reader. Do most of my reading at work reading policy wording, claims reports, researching specific subjects in the internet for information, etc. By the time I get home reading is the last thing I feel like doing.
"The Age of Miracles" has been a mammoth effort. Interesting story but the manner in which it's written (first person?) makes it difficult to follow.
I am really eager to read the series of books starting with the "A Game of Thrones". The television series has been riveting and the books are usually better. So reckon I must try to read them all.
lol I think everyone prefers the hardcopies cos we all have this idea of the library in our house with all the books we've read
I'm reading Stardust - Neil Gaiman. I've started collecting his works (slowly but surely). I'm looking too move off froom him for a while but I'm a bit put off by starting a new book just before exams. I tend to get really tied up in book series and can't do anything before I've finished them >_<
I find it just as hard to read a book written in first person. I recently read Eon: The Dragoneye Reborn, it had a great concept, but simply because of the style of writing, I consider it a terrible book. First person view that only focused on the main character, which makes every other character feel flat without personality.
The only books I've enjoyed with a first person perspective, are the Lorien Legacies, because they don't focus on one character throughout each book, but even then the characters have a habit of being too alike because most writers using that style of writing tend to infuse their own personalities in the POV characters.
I am trying to read Country of my Skull; it's rather boring so far.
