[Reading]A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones(quited)

Recently I was reading the first volume of A Song of Ice and Fire — Game of Thrones. Till now, I have read a quarter of the whole book. However, today I decided to quit this book because it doesn’t fit into my purpose of reading, at least for recently. Because my primal reason for reading English novels is to improve my English, which can hardly be accomplished by reading this novel. This novel is telling a story of medieval fantasy epic, so the author are using a lot of “ancient” words which will merely be used in our real life. Although I can still understand what the author is telling with the help of my dictionary and Google, I don’t want to spend much time but gain little.

I didn’t mean this novel is not interesting. Rather, I would say it’s quite so good a novel that it almost makes me obsessed even through I’ve watched the whole TV series and I still have some vague memory about the plot. I feel impressed by the grand story background when I was reading, taking a look at the world map of the novel series at times.

But now I don’t have much time for entertainment, because there’s only one month left before I my onboarding. The most important thing for me now is to improve my communication skills in English. However, I wish I could come back to this novel as soon as I feel comfortable talking to native speakers.
