I thought these readings were very interesting. I found it interesting in our discussion today that factors such as gender and age may have somewhat of a subconscious influence on your writing style, even as translators try to convey the words of a character completely different from the author and themselves. I also think while it's very natural to change the titles of books to match their audience, I think something maybe authentic and foreign is replaced with dressed-up and familiar. That's not to say that either has an advantage over the other, I think depending on the reader you can find more enjoyment in a title that caters to your native tongue and your creative needs, but it's also exciting when there is a word unknown to you and reading this book will hopefully get you closer to discovering its meaning.
