Good choices so far MC! I wish I'd chosen Midnight's Children instead of Shalimar the Clown..Oh well, there's always next time :(

I thieved quite a few off your list (the ones with the * next to them) - hope you don't mind :angel:

 

Mind??? Are you crazy? I'm thrilled! Hope you enjoy them MC!

If you're looking for suggestions for the countries left blank, I'd definitely recommend:

 

'Mister Pip' by Lloyd Jones for Papua New Guinea;

 

'The Visible World' by Mark Slouka for Czech Republic;

 

And (perhaps rather tenuously!) 'The Historian' by Elizabeth Kostova.

 

Not really sure if you're looking for suggestions, but they're all brilliant reads. I'll definitely be trying some already on your list! :-)
