Romance of The Three Kingdoms (Book)

**Spartan262** · October 26, 2009, 09:22 PM

I'm a big fan of 3rd Century China and love the Three Kingdoms Period Escpecially, so Over the past year in a Half In my spare time I've been Reading Romance of the Three Kingdoms. I'm almost done with about 250-150 pages left to read. I would like to know If anyone else has read this book, because I've never met (Online or in Real Conversations) anyone who has.

hahha, all chinese more or less know the story of it, most have read it, pretty much all have watched the tv series of it, and all young chinese i know of played Romance of Three Kingdoms game. It's a monumental work in Chinese literature, very influential and it's a classic work of humanity's creativity and imagination.

but at the same time, i do recommend reading proper history of the period so you get a real picture of the era, not fictionalized version. It's fun to read the romance, but it's important to realize what really happened.

I read it but I didnt finish the last volume. After Liu Bei and Cao Cao died the story got kind of less interesting.

I used to be a big fan of RTK games but I have grown tired of them.

I tried reading the book cause I find that period pretty fascinating and I heard good things about the book, but it's hard for me to remember Chinese names besides the main characters.
