So, I had to take this literature class, and it turns out i got one called Native American Literature... And I recently had to read a "Native American" novel. Completely new genre possibilities have opened up,LOL. No but seriously I had to read this book (fiction) called "Fools Crow" by James Welch, and it is sooo different from the books I usually read,lol but It was great, you have to try to figure out what the names mean since they're in English but at the same time they're not(kind of in their own language but in English) Yeah I know that makes no sense to you if you havent read it, but trust me its a whole 'nother world,lol. But I recommend it to everyone, and if any of you have read something similar like this, would love to hear your thoughts. Byesss! biggrin

Reading (i wanna say foreign but i don't know if thats the right word) books like those are strange to me. Mostly because of the use of dialogue and style.
Hard to get used to, its like a new language but most reads I find interesting.
I probably might give it a try, I've noticed a pattern of African-American literature in my English class. ninja

That's why I mostly found it so strange to read, I mean I liked the book, but it was a completely new experience for me, because of the sudden changes in writing style and all that.

I once read a whole lot of eastern european stories and those were really different in syntax and style. I think that most people in America were born on Grim's and Asopp and Hans Chris. Anderson. SO we kinda have an idea how stories should be set up and we know the morals behind them and the backround to each so its really interesting to see how other cultures tell a story
