I found the first book confusing because of how many characters there were to keep track of.

Cacoethes · 15-04-2021, 03:10 PM

There are a lot of characters!

I very naively thought 'oh this is a main character, they won't kill him off so early surely?'
Next episode, head cut off

GoT has never really appealed to me. Fantasy wise I like Lord of the Rings, books and films.

Cacoethes · 15-04-2021, 03:18 PM

LotR is awesome

nonperson · 15-04-2021, 03:20 PM

Lol Beckie. I think everyone thought the same thing!

GoT is like a much more violent and disturbing version of LotR.

Cacoethes · 15-04-2021, 03:24 PM

Oh how wrong i was! :p.

It is!

I keep meaning to try audiobooks!

tamobhuuta · 15-04-2021, 04:07 PM

I love audio books. I've got all the Harry Potters but at the moment I'm listening to A Discovery of Witches. I have to fast forward the 'adult' moments though. TMI!

Cacoethes · 15-04-2021, 04:34 PM

I've heard that's good tamo

[Luna] · 15-04-2021, 05:37 PM

I really struggle to concentrate on audio alone but also don't have the concentration for books. I think thats why I've got so into films as an adult.

Also, hi again x

shadow-light · 15-04-2021, 05:56 PM

i listen to audiobooks while running or walking. I just cannot sit still long enough for books or films so it's perfect for me. Only time I can watch a film is on the treadmil too.

however, the narrators voice and style have to be right

Cacoethes · 15-04-2021, 06:03 PM

Hi again Luna!

An audio book could help me chill out a bit

shadow-light · 15-04-2021, 06:20 PM

i got an audible account last year, with that I get one book a month. But I alos discovered "borrowbox" recently which lonks to your local library basically and you can borrow audiobooks through it so now can do like 2 books a month :P

Beckie, I have bootlegs of the Harry Potter and LotR audio books and will send them to you if someone can help me figure out how to send lots of large files?

Also I'd need to find them. Think they're on my old old laptop still!

shadow-light · 15-04-2021, 06:33 PM

only way i know to send large files is onedrive if that helps

nonperson · 15-04-2021, 06:35 PM

It might do, thanks =P

Cacoethes · 15-04-2021, 06:40 PM

That would be great np if you could!

nonperson · 15-04-2021, 06:44 PM

I'll see what I can dig up later!

Sat in Tesco car park at the moment... >.<

Cacoethes · 15-04-2021, 06:45 PM
