proserpina Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 I only found out about this challenge a couple of days ago and thought it would be a nice way of reading new authors from far flung corners of the globe. I've back-dated my list so far with books I have read so far in 2007. I can't imagine how much progress I will be able to make with this in the short time frame, but if it inspires my reading then I will be happy. * Afghanistan: The Kite Runner – Khaled Hosseini * Albania * Algeria * American Samoa * Andorra * Angola * Antigua and Barbuda * Argentina * Armenia * Aruba * Australia: Everyman’s Rules for Scientific Living – Carrie Tiffany * Austria * Azerbaijan * Bahamas * Bahrain * Bangladesh: Alentejo Blue - Monica Ali * Barbados * Belarus * Belgium * Belize * Benin * Bermuda * Bhutan * Bolivia * Bosnia and Herzegovina * Botswana * Brazil: The Alchemist – Paulo Coelho * British Virgin Islands * Brunei * Bulgaria * Burkina Faso * Burundi * Cambodia * Cameroon * Canada: Surfacing – Margaret Atwood * Cape Verde * Cayman Islands * Central African Republic * Chad * Chile * China (PRC): Empress Orchid – Anchee Min * Chinese Taipei (TPE) * Colombia * Comoros * Congo DR * Congo Republic * Cook Islands * Costa Rica * Côte d'Ivoire * Croatia * Cuba * Cyprus * Czech Republic: Metamorphosis – Franz Kafka * Denmark * Djibouti * Dominica * Dominican Republic * Ecuador * Egypt * El Salvador * Equatorial Guinea * Eritrea * Estonia * Ethiopia * Fiji * Finland * France: Les Miserables – Victor Hugo * Gabon * The Gambia * Georgia * Germany: Perfume – Patrick Suskind * Ghana * Great Britain: The Lord of the Flies – William Golding * Greece * Grenada * Guam * Guatemala * Guinea * Guinea-Bissau * Guyana * Haiti * Honduras * Hong Kong, China * Hungary * Iceland * India: Inheritance of Loss – Kiran Desai * Indonesia * Iran: Reading Lolita in Tehran – Azar Nafisi * Iraq * Ireland: Notes from A Turkish Whorehouse – Philip O’ Ceallaigh * Israel * Italy: I’m Not Scared – Niccolo Ammaniti * Jamaica * Japan: Blind Willow, Sleeping Willow – Haruki Murakami * Jordan * Kazakhstan * Kenya: Blood Sisters – Barbara & Stephanie Keating * Kiribati * Korea, South * Korea, North * Kuwait * Kyrgyzstan * Laos * Latvia * Lebanon * Lesotho * Liberia * Libya * Liechtenstein * Lithuania * Luxembourg * FYROM * Madagascar * Malawi * Malaysia: The Harmony Silk Factory – Tash Aw * Maldives * Mali * Malta * Marshall Islands * Mauritania * Mauritius * Mexico * Micronesia * Moldova * Monaco * Mongolia * Montenegro * Morocco * Mozambique * Myanmar * Namibia * Nauru * Nepal * Netherlands: * Netherlands Antilles * New Zealand * Nicaragua * Niger * Nigeria: Half of a Yellow Sun – Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie * Norway * Oman * Pakistan: Bitter Sweets - Roopa Farooki * Palau * Palestine: Does My Head Look Big in This? – Randa Abdel Fattah * Panama * Papua New Guinea * Paraguay * Peru * Philippines * Poland * Portugal * Puerto Rico * Qatar * Romania * Russia: Cancer Ward – Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn * Rwanda * Saint Kitts and Nevis * Saint Lucia * Saint Vincent and the Grenadines * São Tomé and Príncipe * Samoa * San Marino * Saudi Arabia * Senegal * Serbia * Seychelles * Sierra Leone * Singapore * Slovakia * Slovenia * Solomon Islands * Somalia * South Africa: Gem Squash Tokoloshe – Rachel Zadok * Spain: The Curriculum Vitae of Aurora Ortiz - Almudena Solana * Sri Lanka * Sudan: The Translator - Leila Aboulela * Suriname * Swaziland * Sweden * Switzerland * Syria * Tajikistan * Tanzania * Thailand * Timor-Leste * Togo * Tonga * Trinidad and Tobago * Tunisia * Turkey * Turkmenistan * Tuvalu * Uganda * Ukraine * United Arab Emirates * United States: The Shipping News – E.
