I started Nights at the Circus but I must confess that this is really a difficult English novel to read. There are lots of strange and new words in it and I must look them up in my dictionary almost in each line ( Is it a grammatically correct sentence ?) .The solution that suggests continuing without a dictionary doesn't help here because I can't guess the word's meaning by knowing the context. As it is a magic realistic novel you don't know what are you going to expect as a reader. I wish it were a bit easier . I am going to read 125 pages by tomorrow night which seems impossible .( now I am in page 6 !).

By the way, thanks a lot for your nice comments on learning new words :)

since you asked ... it should be: "... this is a really difficult English novel ..."
Lets start from the easy ones .. ;)

thanks a lot :)
BTW : this is not my first book in English. I have read many and this one is obligatory for one of my courses .
