Re: English books miniclubs 2015
Me too, and I think they are so easy. And Harry Potter is easy too. And I also read Divergent and Insurgent, the last one I didn't because I didn't like the second one, but they are easy too.larousse86 escribió:I read the trilogy in English.

Re: English books miniclubs 2015
I have Harry Potter at home! I bought the books in english when they were published (yeah, a totally compulsive and irrational purchase ) but I didn't read them yet because I thought it'd be full of complicated vocabulary. It's decided then, I'll give Harry Potter a try

Re: English books miniclubs 2015
I've read all the Harry Potter saga in English and I find the books easy.
Last year I read the first book of Divergent. I wanted to read the second and the thirth of the saga, but there are many books and time passes

Re: English books miniclubs 2015
I read Harry Potter as well, and as I see it, not all the saga is easy. Maybe, three or even four, but the last two are long and much more complicated. My theory is, as Harry grows up, so does the reader, so, according to their level, books become more and more complicated. More characters, spells, stories...

Re: English books miniclubs 2015
Well, that's true, from the fourth book the stories are longer and more complex. In my case, I didn't grow up with the books, I read all of them as an adult. Maybe it's that I'm a fan and I don't see the difficulties. But I still think that if you begin with the first one and you don't have special problems, you can go on with the rest of them.

Re: English books miniclubs 2015
My case is like Ayrween's case. I read them as an adult, so it's true that the books have an evolution and grown up in the same way as Harry does, but I didn't find any diffucultie in reading the lasts.
Berenice enjoy the reading And come here to coment if you want

Re: English books miniclubs 2015
I'd like to join you in one of the future miniclubs. I am preparing FCE and, to improve my vocabulary I'm reading some books in English.
I have read "The Last Don" recently and I enjoyed it a lot, the only problem is the regular use of the slang (which is like the hell) so I read it slowly. A week ago I started "The Edge Of Eternity" and I find out that is much more easier. I can go faster and I understand almost the whole chapters. (I am at 15% now).
I have in my ebook some books in English, maybe you'll want to read one with me in a couple of months. The books are:
- Fatherland - Robert Harris
- I am legend - Richard Matheson
- The boy in stripped pyjamas - Jon Boyne
- The Da Vinci code - Dan Brown
- Inferno - Dan Brown
- 1984 - George Orwell
- A good man in Africa - William Boyd
- The Pelican Brief - John Grisham
- Police - Jo Nesbo
- The Devil's star - Jo Nesbo
- Gulliver's travels - Jonathan Swift
- The tenth chamber - Glenn Cooper
- Will Piper trilogy - Glenn Cooper

Re: English books miniclubs 2015
Mochuelo, I didn't read you, sorry. When I read the first book the first time I was twenty-something, I think. I wasn't a teenager and I have studied for some years in the Escuela Oficial de Idiomas.
diruizp, welcome! Some of the books you are intending to read looks seems interesting but I don't know if I'll have the time.

Re: English books miniclubs 2015
I want to read the one by Matherson So, if you are interested, let me know and we can organise an MC
Re: English books miniclubs 2015
Yes, I'm interested in I am Legend. I love the movie. Fatherland and I am Legend are my favourites of the list.

Re: English books miniclubs 2015
First of all, welcome, diruizp
I'm not that fan of Sci-Fi, but I just saw that "I am legend" is a short novel and I already have it we could read it after "The Secret Keeper", which is on April 8th. What about late May - early June?

Re: English books miniclubs 2015
Diruizp, I'd love to read Fatherland. It is always in my pending list but I never get around to read it.
I have quite a few things to read, until may at least. Let's say a day... 20th may, for instance?
I have read all Cooper's books in English. Will Piper's series, that's it.
*******
I've just seen Larousse's message. Taking my day?
Ok, then end June for Fatherland?
(This year is better in terms of English miniclubs, )
