That happens to me too. I feel like some books set in the US I can't relate to in any way since I don't have to deal with the things the characters do. I even have that problem with Swedish books, there are some things that I can relate to as we do them just like the Swedes do, but then there are some things that just throw me off. And I find it interesting that Malay books give you conflicted feelings. (You are also making me want to read a Malay book but I doubt they've translated anything into Finnish.)

I actually got some Russian sic-fi book from the library today, but I forgot the author's name. D: I read Crime and Punishment in the spring and actually liked it. I'm kind of trying to decide if I want to read more Dostoevsky next or if I should pick up some Tolstoy. I've tried to read Pride and Prejudice, but couldn't finish it. It's funny really, because I read Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and enjoyed it a lot. I guess I just needed the zombies. xD

Yeah, I'd love a Kindle, but then again the Samsung Tablets looks veeeery nice too. Oh well, can't afford either at the moment so I'll stick to traditional ways of reading.

BOOKS ARE THE BEST ♥
