Being honest, I haven't read lots of books because I am the person who like to see visual thing and learn from that. Even though I have very short knowledge of books, I want to say about Korean books and American books. First, I want to talk about book how they look. Korean novels, memoirs, and etc are really colorful, big, and heavy, but most of American books are simple design and small. I like American books the way they are small because it's not presuure to carry everywhere. The other difference between Korean books and American books is numbers of one word. The numbers of the word of yellow are an example that shows what I want to say. In Korean, the word of yellow can divide into at least four different words. Of course, the feeling of those words is different. I think this is really interesting, isn't it? I am not sure of American novels because I am not native speakers. I think if we want to understand books which are from different countries exactly, we need to understand culture first, don't we?

This was a very interesting comparison -- I do agree that we need to understand culture when we compare books.
