First of all my deepest gratitudeto my great friend Bego MC. His passion, enthusiasm, devotion (and also a little bit of luck) by Game of Thrones have made this possible exclusive item for AL. And of course the actor Kit Harington (the well-known Jon Snow) for their kindness in lending themselves to chat about your readings, more concerns literary and his career. Today I share them with all the followers and readers of one of the most famous, acclaimed and successful fantasy novel sagas that have been adapted to television.
Go ahead, I am one of the few beings in the known world who not hooked a Game of Thrones. I've just been just from the Fantasía de The Neverending Story by Michael Ende, but not my gender.
I could only with the First season and my taste for the established names (Mark Addy, Ian Glenn, Sean Bean) of that cast. But after the bad shot to see the head of Ned Stark and check that no Lannister nor any Targaryens, I never took it up again. Nevertheless, I know very well about the madness, admiration and enthusiasm of his millions of followers.
Born in Worcester on December 26, 1986, Harington has entered the thirty being one of the most famous actors of recent years. All for his charismatic character of Jon Snow. Bill phenomenon world of this television adaptation of the fantasy novel saga of George RR Martin still unstoppable. And then seven seasons It has already rained a lot for the young and fledgling guard of the Wall.

A first anecdote reveals what it is one of the few series actors that he has read all the books by Martin. But long before, Harington worked in a bookstore of the chain Waterstones in London, I had no idea who the happy Martin was and he denied the weight of his books that it was his turn to go up from the warehouse to place them. And what is fate ... Now they adore each other.
Favorite books
Those of his childhood were those of Harry Potter and he also loved science fiction. Now he confesses himself a devotee of books over space and his love of science fiction remains intact.
Su favorite book of all time is 1984 by George Orwell. Also Any Human Heart by William Boyd o secret-agent (The secret agent) by Joseph Conrad. Of course it highlights all of Dickens y Los Miserables by Victor Hugo. He is passionate Ursula K. The Guin, American writer of fantasy novels and science fiction above all, with her works The Dispossessed o Stories ofshore. And he also likes The Handmaid's Tale deMargaret Atwood.
Does a special mention toTestament of Youth (Will of youth) by Vera Brittain. He had read it in school and when he found out that a film version would be made, did everything he could to get the part of the poet / soldier Roland Leighton.
Poetry
Harington also loves poetry and write, although consider that it is not good and he has no intention of publishing, but his friends comment that it's not bad at all. What he is most passionate about is declaim and recite. Among his favorite poets are William Blake, John Keats, Robert Frost, William Wordsworth, and Siegfried Sassoon.
Theater
Harington is also a stage actor. For him it is like breathing and he says that his mother named him Christopher after Christopher Marlowe, who was also called "Kit". His theatrical awakening was Waiting for Godot of Samuel Beckett and the last thing he did on the stage was precisely a groundbreaking version of Doctor faust of the famous English playwright. It was also Titus Andronicusand Shakespeare likes everything but The Taming of the Shrew. He also admires the Norwegian Henrik a lot Ibsen (Doll's House)
