Ron Price, I am interested in your works. Where can I find them? I agreed with you on that cultural thing. People's upbringings and cultural values go hand in hand and you can learn a lot of things by just talking to a person who is grown up in that particular culture. And I also agree on your final cnclusions.
American Literature vs British Literature
Many Have watched the movies based on his books but how many new there was a book firts.

A SUMMARY OF RON PRICE’S INTERNET PUBLISHING
HIS CUP OF PUBLISHING TEA
Most of the following went onto the internet in the years 2001-2006. Most of it is free of any cost, although some self-publishing material costs from $3 to $20. There are three general categories of printed matter I have placed on the world wide web. These categories are:
1. Books:
1.1. The Emergence of a Baha’i Consciousness in World Literature: The Poetry of Roger White. This 400 page ebook is available at Juxta Publishing Limited and can be downloaded free of charge.
1.2. A paperback edition of the above book is available at Lulu.com for $11.48 plus shipping costs from the USA. This self-publishing site also has a four volume work, a study in autobiography, entitled Pioneering Over Four Epochs which is 2000 pages long. I will be making it available as an ebook and in paperback for $10 to $20 per volume very soon after it is reviewed by the National Spiritual Assembly of the Baha’is of Australia, Inc. The charges are set by Lulu.com
2. Internet Site Postings:
Many of my essays, poems and a myriad of different kinds of postings/writings in smaller, more manageable, chunks of an A-4 page or less or a little more is all free and can be accessed by simply: (a) going to any one of approximately 2000 sites or (b) typing some specific words into the google search engines as follows:
2.1 Approximately 2000 Sites:
I post at a wide range of poetry, literature, social science and humanities sites across a wide range of subjects, topics and intellectual disciplines in both popular and academic culture. The list of these sites is available to anyone interested by writing to me at: ronprice9@gmail.com But a simpler method to access many of my postings is to:
2.2 Type Sets of Words At Google:
There are literally hundreds of sets of words now that will access my writing at various sites. If you type, for example, Ron Price, followed by any one of the following words or word sequences: (i) poetry, (ii) literature, (iii) religion, (iv) Baha’i, (v) history, (vi) Shakespeare, (vii) ancient history, (viii) philosophy, (ix) Islam and (x) Australia Bahai, et cetera et cetera you will get anywhere from a few sites to over 100 sites arranged in blocks of ten sites. The main problem with this way of accessing what I have written is that my work is side by side with dozens of items from other writers and posters who have the same name as mine. I have counted a dozen other Ron Prices. You may find their work more interesting. There are some wife bashers, car salesmen, evangelists, media celebrities, a pornographer or two, a fascinating array of chaps who have different things to flog, so to speak, than my offerings.
3. Specific Sites With Much Material:
Some sites have hundreds of pages of my writing and these sites are a sort of middle ground, a different ground, between the above two major categories. The Baha’i Academics Resource Library, for example, has more of my material than at any other site. My writings are listed there under: (a) books, (b) personal letters, (c) poetry, (d) biographies and (e) essays, among other categories/listings. The Roger White book is here under “Secondary Resource Material>Books>Item #114.” I find this site useful personally, but some of the poetry is not arranged in a visually pleasing form. Some readers may find the layout annoying.
There are some sites at which my writing is found in a very pleasing form with photos and pictures and general settings to catch the eye. Some site organizers have their location beautifully arranged. I leave it to readers to read what pleases them and leave what doesn’t.
Concluding Comments:
I had no idea when I retired from full-time employment in 1999 to write as full-time as I was able--that the internet would be as fertile a base for my offerings as it has become. There are literally millions of words now on this international web of words that I have written in the last seven years. From the early eighties to the early years of this new millennium I tried to get published in a hard cover but without any success. My guess is that in the years ahead the world will be awash with books from thousands/millions of people like me. What I write may not be your cup-of-tea. In that case drink someone else’s tea from someone else’s cup. But for those who may enjoy my writings, I hope the above is useful.

China on a political truth
Fan Ye had in December 2005 to help the Kuomintang and Taiwan's "three-in-one" election victory while enabling them to undertake the cross-strait three links. Fan Ye also indirectly put forward a concept of harmony, but immature 22-year-old Fan Ye, said something right then. Results Fan Ye buried by the Chinese Communists.

Its amazing to see a thread I started over a year ago, I did not expect this, and antimoon is still alive; simply AMAZING.
I have been away for so long, to complete a series of short stories, now I need people for the purpose of proofreading. If anyone is interested, let it known to me.

Just read the whole thread (I'm a newcomer here). I'm very much surprised that JRR Tolkien is mentioned by fewer people than even CS Lewis whose works are next to nothing in comparison with Tolkien's. Tolkien hadn't just written a book, he created a world, a universe in fact. And he did indeed give his world a life of its own. I've often seen people speculating about the reasons for certain things happening in Middle Earth as if they were discussing actual history.
An everyone who claims that Tolkien's popularity is due to the "aid of Hollywood" is just flaunting his blatant ignorance (not to say stupidity). I'm not expecting you to conduct a research about that, Stan, but at least you could read the "LOTR" entry in Wikipedia before making such laughable claims. Do you know how much time it took me to read one of the three books of this novel when I first got my hand on it (these books were a hard thing to find in Belarus back in the nineties)? ONE evening! And there are about 500 pages in it. I hope you aren't going to credit Hollywood for that.
But it's the "A more interesting question would be a comparison between American and Russian literature. The UK is an also-ran here" person who really makes me laugh, he must have mixed up novels with nuclear missiles:-) He should know how the Russians feel about American literature...
And back on topic, yes, I believe that Brithish literature is superior to American.

Many have watched the movies based on his magazines but how many new there were farts.
Anyway here is the TOP-9 (yes, why should it always be TOP-10??) of the books that made the lasting impression on me. "O" means that I did read the original in English and "T" means that I only read a book in translation. I have no doubt, though, that there are many great books around that I haven't managed to read and some of them could surpass the ones in my list...
1) The Shining Pyramid - Arthur Machen - UK - O
2) The Time Machine - Herbert George Wells - UK - O
3) The Lord Of The Rings - John Ronald Reuel Tolkien - UK - O
4) A Wizard Of Earthsea - Ursula Le Guin - US - T
5) The Shepherd - Frederick M. Forsyth - UK - T
6) Threshhold - Ursula Le Guin - US - T
7) Left Hand Of Darkness - Ursula Le Guin - US - T
8) 1984 - George Orwell - UK - O
9) The Sirens of Titan - Kurt Vonnegut - US - T

Obviously British Literature is richer than American literature. Can you find giants like Shakespeare, Marlowe,Spenser, Milton, John Donne, Dickens, Hardy, G.Eliot, T.S. Eliot, Keats, Shelly, Byron, Wordsworth, William Blake, Bernard Shaw, Coleridge........................................
in American literature? In American literature except Robert Frost there is no other big name. So I`m wonder struck that how Friendswoods library can claim that the American land of literature is more fertile than British literature.
It`s again a superiority complex of Americans which has engrossed the whole nation.

Uh, we have more than just Robert Frost. Hemingway, Steinbeck, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Vonnegut -- any of these ring a bell?
