I think Jon is Azhor Azzai and Bran is his enemy or at least his avatar.

Just read it, you'll be done with it in about two hours but be prepared to look up a Nadast dictionary when you read.

And the sequel will be called "Maggie develops an eating disorder and has to go to rehab".

I actually ordered the Orwell one last night. His other biographies and essays worth reading?

What would say is the best translation of Faust? i've been wanting to read it for years.

i've only read Monte Cristo, but i've heard he makes connections throughout his entire works.

Have Lattimore's "The Odyssey" translation coming in the post, what would be other decent entry level poetry that I should read if I like this one?

Considering buying The Complete Robert Frost as my next poetry related purchase.

It's a series?

I plan to read The Man In The Iron Mask as my next Dumas novel later in the year. Decent second novel to read by Dumas?

Pretty much this, also the Villefort chapters were easily the best. Also BEST.NOVEl.EVER!!!

Obviously the second one.

I really didn't want this to turn into a flame war, I just wanted the boards opinions on the recent novels I purchased.

What book and page did it mention their eye colour? The Incest might be a massive clue and Tyrion will probably be revealed to be Tywin's only child which is the other reason he hates.

Excellent, they'll probably arrive some time next week due to the weekend being a bank holiday.

The Luzhin Defence-Nobokov
The Odyssey Of Homer-Lattimore translation
Homage to Catalona-Orwell

Also, has Lattimore done a translation of The Iliad?

Not to mention reading Dostoyevsky has awakened a Russian lit craze in me.

i'm only getting The Luzhin Defence because I like Chess and it seems like a pretty good book. But i'll check Lolita out next time.

Is The Luzhin Defence a decent introduction to Nabokov? and thoughts on Home to Catalonia? i've only read 1984, but i've been wanting to read his biographies for ages since he seems like a genuinely interesting bloke.

I think Jaime and Cersei MAY be Targs, with the incest between them being a massive clue towards their heritage.

Heard pic related is best translation. Can anyone confirm?

I approve this thread.
