Since I came America, I have stop to read any fictions. I used to do this in China. I always read some fictions before going to sleep, this make me to calm down and promised a good sleep. But here I can not find a Chinese fiction, so I just stop reading. May be I should try to read some English fiction now (which I have done before, the result is not too bad:) What do you think?

You might want to try e-bay. I found some Chinese fiction (translated to English) there a few years ago. Ghost stories. :) They were pretty good too.
Of course reading American fiction would help broaden your literary horizons. ;)

Aw, that's too bad you haven't had a chance to read at night. I'm the same way, I always read some fiction and get relaxed before time for sleeping. Your English is wonderful, but I would think it would be more relaxing to read relaxing books in what a person was brought up with. (I think it would be tiring to have to translate everything, especially when there are words that may be unfamiliar.) I'm not sure, but I think in our Chinese area in our closest big city that there are libraries that carry books in the home language. Our large city library also has what's called inter-library loans, meaning that they can send the book out to your home for you to read, then after a certain period of time you send it back, or renew it. (It's a longer time period than at my regular library. I've sent for books that weren't available in my small town library that way, didn't cost a cent either. Just a thought that maybe could be checked out.
