ok so ive taken a liking in reading books about asian culture and books by asian authors and what not can anyone reccommend me anymore books?
ive read
-mismatch by lensey namioka
-and another book called just ask

i like reading about anything asian, the character could be asian stuff like that

You can try reading all of Amy Tan books she usually write base on asian culture
here are the list of books she wrote:
* The Joy Luck Club (1989)
* The Kitchen God's Wife (1991)
* The Hundred Secret Senses (1995) (Shortlisted for the 1996 Orange Prize)
* The Bonesetter's Daughter (2001)
* Saving Fish from Drowning (2005).

the most popular one is The Joy Luck Club really awesome book I read. In high school I also read another book called "Farewell to Manzanar" by Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston. It's mostly about a Japanese girl going through the time of WWII and stuff really interesting book

hope it helps u a bit

^ joy luck club is really good. i watched the movie as well. the girl who played the daughter who losted her mother is the voice of mulan.

~women of silk by gail tsukiyama(loved this book! )
~the good earth -- i forgot the author
~chinese cinderella-- forgot the author. ( my mom read it she said she cried) it is also a true story

Chinese Cinderella
Necessary Roughness

hrm, that's all i can think of right now...

Memoirs of a Geisha was one of the best books I've ever read featuring Asian characters, but it's not by an Asian author though .

Snow Flower and the Secret Fan by ..Lisa See, I think.
Sorry if I get any part wrong. http://www.lisasee.com/snowflower.htm.

wat is 'necessary roughness' about??

An Ocean Apart, a World Away by Lensey Namioka
One Thousand Paper Cranes (The Story of Sadako and the Children's Pace Statue) by Takayuki Ishii.

i haven't started reading these yet though...

atm i'm reading lost names by richard kim, its an inspiring book about a young boy through his identity struggles, as the japanese take over the korean region, causing his family to change names and to that matter, i think its quite a good read.

I read a book similar to that. But it's about a girl and her family. I forgot the author but I think the title of the book was "When my name was Keiko".

Chinese Cinderella and Falling leaves by the same author. Falling Leaves is about the same girl, but it follows her through her adulthood. Pretty sad, but it's a happy ending.

Most, if not all of Haruki Murakami's books deal with quirky characters in a Japanese setting.
