Boring? Don't think so, it's just it does not exactly fit you own style. You seem to like long sentences, metaphors and recollections.

Moreover, be careful, if you say you think American and English literatures are boring, then, you must think the US and the UK's history and civilization are dull too? (what betrayed you for me to think you have an aversion to United States : you did not put a capital letter at the beginning of the word "American")?
(And if you are interested in translation, you’d better find more than one writer you like. I’m fascinated by English and American literature, and I’m pretty sure you could find more than one author you appreciate. )

Ultimately, I’d just like to say that you should see Gus Van Sant's Movie " Finding Forrester" which takes Salinger’s life as its starting point.

No no do not mixed-up all what I said... It's just that I do not really know American an English litterature, and what I've read does not interested me very much, but I'll keep on trying, of course I'm sure I'll find! Moreover I'm not so good at English, I speak quite well spanish but i've more difficulties concerning english! so I have to improve my english..
I never said that I did not like US and UK civilizations, it's even the contrary i have learnt this year American and uk history and I enjoyed it! I think I just don't like when there are too many descriptions in novel, you know many many pages... (like balzac too..:S)
thanks for your advice, I've seen moovies of Gus Vant Sant (I loooved Gerry, and enjoyed Elephant, but I was very disappointed when I saw Paranoid Park and Will hunting) Anyway, I didn't know "finding forrester" I'll try to see it!
oh and it's just that I always forget to put capital letters.. for "america" as well as "france" or "spain" even at the begining of the sentence, but it's just when I type it on my computer!

it's me the "anonymous" girl from this comment. If you had told me about Salinger, I would have told you about Gus Van Sant. But since you did not, i do not know, i choosed to say it using another way.
