imron Posted May 8, 2012 at 09:56 PM Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 at 09:56 PM Are you looking for Chinese literature in Chinese, or Chinese literature that has been translated into English? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kongli Posted May 9, 2012 at 07:10 AM Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 at 07:10 AM Off the top of my head， some authors you can check out. 张爱玲 钱钟书 王小波 刘呐鸥 鲁迅 茅盾 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creamyhorror Posted May 9, 2012 at 07:39 AM Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 at 07:39 AM I really enjoy some of the pieces in Qingnian Wenzhai (青年文摘), which is a digest of short-form writing for youth (and therefore suitable for learners). The accompanying illustrations are pretty nice, too. I read the print edition but there are downloadable ebooks: http://www.qnwz.cn/html/ebookdown/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PineWu Posted May 10, 2012 at 01:42 AM Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 at 01:42 AM Could you name some of the Chinese books you have read? So I may recommend some that fits your Chinese level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renzhe Posted May 10, 2012 at 01:08 PM Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 at 01:08 PM If you're interested in original-language stuff, it's always good to have a look at the Chinese sampler. It gives a nice cross-section of classical and modern literature, including many of the most celebrated works and authors, some complete, some as excerpts. Having a quick read of those will give you a good idea of what you'd enjoy reading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daofeishi Posted May 10, 2012 at 05:52 PM Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 at 05:52 PM It depends if you're reading them in Chinese or English translation. In Chinese, Kongli has listed a few good authors. Adding to his list: 莫言 余华 三毛 慕容雪村 残雪 马建 阎连科 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leihuangdi Posted June 15, 2012 at 02:29 PM Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 at 02:29 PM For magazines I‘d recommend 《读者》.It's full of insightful(mostly) articles and excerpts from famous works.I like 青年文摘as well but there aren't as many crappy romantic stories in 读者。 Here's a link to an iphone app which downloads the newest issues for you(this is the only thing I can find and I haven't tried it coz I don't have an iphone):http://app.tongbu.com/501085076_duzhewenzhai.html I'd also like to recommend《格言》. It's called 格言because for each article there's one intriguing motto as a conclusion. official website:http://www.geyan.com.cn/txgy/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
