Asian Literature

A brief collection of various literature, ranging from many countries , including India, Japan, China, Vietnam, Thailand, and Korea. I added some Contemporary authors as well as some classics. There is a plethora of literature out there, but many are not translated into English, these however are. I believe they are all great reads, and all have significant impacts on the world of literature, that are often overlooked by other lists that only seem to want to mention the Western Culture's great authors such as Charles Dickens, Tolstoy, or the Bronte Sisters… hope you all enjoy.
