Do u like to read books written by foreign authors?

Question

Of what nationalities? do u read them translated to ur native language? Where r u from?

Answer 1

I'm lithuanian, and i read pretty much everything by authors of all nationalities and only very few lithuanians. I read books in lithuanian, english if i cannot find the book in lithuanian [like Freud], german if i like a book a lot [by a german writer]. I really like german writers, some russians, americans, english, french, but as i said, ive read the books of writers coming from all the wide world.

Answer 2

Self-publishing does have a place in publishing. there are various initiatives for which self-publishing is honestly greater suited than commercial publishing. And it is the thank you to get study in case you have a sturdy e book that did not make it into commercial publishing for motives different than destructive high quality (ie, area of interest marketplace with a small readership or books that are sturdy yet consistent with danger lack that little some thing which will distinguish them from something.) yet i think of self-publishing is a few thing that maximum folk could stay faraway from. It demands very particular company skills and it demands a genuine information of what your artwork is honestly rather worth. Too many newbie writers self-post absolute trash thinking this is spectacular using fact they're only deluded. this is why I extremely propose youthful writers against self-publishing. you only don't be responsive to yet at that degree what you're able to desire to write later and you do not desire to break your attractiveness as a author with subpar artwork you self-printed in the previous you have been waiting.

Answer 3

Sure, sometimes. Usually it seems I end up reading books by french authors (translated), but I don't know why... "The Neverending Story" is by a German man - translated of course. I can read a little french, and I'm attempting to read a french book by Chrystine Brouillet. I'm from Canada.

I have never read a chinese or a japanese book that moved me.
I read in English or in Russian. I know some german, but i find it hard to read in german. I like reading in english most.

Answer 5

I'm American, and I like Indian Women writers, although the books I read are typically expat Indians. DEFINITELY translated (the ones who wrote in their native tongue) because I do not speak any dialect of any language spoken in India.

Answer 6

I am American and I like to read books by any good author regardless of nationality.

I am especially fond of Ha Jin, a Chinese author, and Karin Fossum, who writes Norwegian mysteries.

Others I would recommend are Haruki Murakami, Bernhard Schlink and Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
