Japenese/Chinese Novel are great!

Only about 10 years ago I used to go my favorite book store (Midnight Special in Santa Monica)and only saw a tiny row of books from Asia and of course there were none of these books anywhere else. But now, praise the Lord, these books are everywhere. I just finished "Gold Rush" which is a cross between "Catcher in the Rye", "The Tell-Tale Heart", and "Crime and Punishment". Also "Coin Locker Babies", and "To Live", just to name a few. It's refreshing to get another prespective on the world without the "this could be on TV" writer mentality that American authors seem to have.

You're missing the point.
