English or American writer ?

I have just started the book “The Color Purple” by Alice Walker. I have chosen this novel because it was in the list of books banned from Sarah Palin and I thought that it will be so interested to read it, since it makes me remember the film that it was so nice.

But my feeling, when I read the firsts pages, has been that this book is not easy. Alice Walker is from Georgia and she uses American English with many abbreviations and terms that make me the reading so difficult.

When we want to read a book what is better English or American writer? From my point of view is better an English writer but I don’t know if I’m making a mountain out of a molehill.

What do you think ?
