Reading Around the World


I have a personal goal to read my way around the world. I wish to read a book from every country (or as many as are available) so I can learn about different cultures and immerse myself in all the wonderful literature this world has to offer.

Ideally, each book I read should be set in a country and be a good example of life and culture in that country. Each book chosen should be the 'essence' of that country, or at least be considered a good example of the sort of literature that country has to offer. Only the best of the best!

Although I will endeavour to source 'local' authors from each country, I understand that could be hard for smaller countries. So as long as the book is set in a country, and does a good job of showing that country's culture, then it counts even if it was written be a non-local.

Feel free to suggest any novels or non-fiction books that you feel meets these requirements, for any country. Here is a list of all of the 257 countries in the world!
