Literature genres
Literature in different context could treasure different kind of literature. For example, essay collections (poems in the old days) hold greater privilege in Chinese literature than novels. And now I've tried and finished some essay collections in English, but somehow I don't seem to get as much joy like when I read the Chinese ones. Is this habit, familiarity or something else?
