    Your Personal Library

    I'm not sure. So far, I've made a list of around 200. Many of them are fantasy/sf. Novels, language books, photography-related, albums, popular science books, academic, history, children/teenagers books from my youth, books from other countries in original languages. For space reasons some of...

    Asian literature By Asian Authors

    Mat Salleh. (Polish) So, what's the fuss about mat salleh? :D Why this was the first thing he asked, can you explain that? It's those little things, the different perspective, that it's so interesting when reading authors from foreign cultures. I don't think in the Western countries such...

    Asian literature By Asian Authors

    Meadow, seriously, I'd like you to read with understanding. Direstraits understood my point. And I'm not denying their skills, but that's not the point of this topic for me. If you want a broader topic, I'm not stopping you from starting one. I peeked into 21 Immortals in Amazon. Lol, the most...

    Asian literature By Asian Authors

    There are a lot of people of Asian descent in USA who are identifying themselves as an American not an Asian. Can we end this topic? Abecedarian, sorry I can't see your list. :( The globallisation doesn't help "national" literature. Actually, I don't know much about Canadian literature, but...

    Asian literature By Asian Authors

    You don't get my point. I was asking about Asian literature. British author going to Asia is not an Asian writer. Period. I wrote "doesn't matter how good his books are", I think. I wanted some suggestions about Asian writers not people writing about Asia. I'm not saying their views are invalid...

    Asian literature By Asian Authors

    Hmmm, I didn't think about "books about Asia" but rather books written by Asians. People born and brought up in USA were brought up in USA culture. It doesn't matter where the parents are born from. You think Polish Americans consider themselves Polish? Nope, rather Americans. If they've spent...

    Asian literature By Asian Authors

    Wow... that's a lot of books. :) I'm familiar with the "Journey to the West" and "Genji" but I've never read it all. Which are your favourites? My point wasn't to ask about books covering Asia, but by books of Asian writers. Simon Winchester doesn't fall in this category, no matter how good...

Who are your favourite Asian writers? What's your favourite books? Which authors/book you don't like? What do you plan to...

    African Literature

    I've enjoyed the "Things Fall Apart" already mentioned. A powerful and sad book. A book that I'll surely read again and again. Good to see some suggestions for other books.

    Goodreads

    I'm on Goodreads but I have very little books in my list. Most of those I've read in the past, I've forgotten. I might have read the series, I don't have listed. I added some books I've read and remember to enjoy them (I didn't forget them) but I couldn't review them as I've read that years ago...

    Hi

    Hi guys. :) Meadow, I'm reading Asian books translated to my native language (Polish), English or trying to read in original language if my skills are high enough. I like Haruki Murakami and Abe Kobo. Especially "Inter Ice Age 4" by Abe Kobo is my favourite Asian book. I can't decide on which...

    I'm reading some Korean webtoons. Tower of God, Noblesse and Ability. I prefer fantasy ones, but I'll check the Room#305 as well. EDIT: Dmitri, Room #305 is great! Good I've check it out. :) Thanks.
