Re: Isn't that also the point? To stretch your limits, however far out they might be? Danae al'Thor Send a noteboard - 22/02/2011 04:54:26 AM
Have you read your Classic yet?

And keep the reviews coming. They've been great to read. :D

Next month's challenge: Read a book by an author from a country you've not read a book from before.


I thought about it for a moment and I came up with dozens of countries who have produced writers I have read:

US

UK

Ireland

Canada

Mexico

Guatemala

Nicaragua

Costa Rica

El Salvador

Honduras

Panama

Colombia

Venezuela

Brazil

Peru

Ecuador

Cuba

Dominican Republic

Haiti

Jamaica

Trinidad and Tobago

Argentina

Paraguay

Uruguay

Chile

Bolivia

Italy

Spain

Portugal

France

Germany

Belgium

The Netherlands

Switzerland

Denmark

Iceland

Norway

Sweden

Finland

Russia

Poland

Serbia

Croatia

Hungary

Greece

Albania

Turkey

Lebanon

Israel

Egypt

Algeria

Iran

South Africa

Nigeria

Angola

Mozambique

Australia

New Zealand

China

Japan

South Korea

Philippines

Taiwan

India

Pakistan

Romania

And I'm likely leaving out a few. But I believe that's virtually all of the major literary centers whose authors have been translated into English at some point :P

Oh. I didn't quite understand how it worked. Thank you for clarifying. Now if I can just remember Tashmere - 22/02/2011 12:25:45 AM 748 Views
That sort of challenge actually makes it more difficult for the more well-read readers, I'd think Larry - 22/02/2011 02:48:23 AM 871 Views

After a while, it becomes much easier to forget which have been read than to remember which haven't Larry - 22/02/2011 05:07:49 AM 758 Views

I have that problem Camilla - 22/02/2011 02:45:11 PM 785 Views
Perhaps I don't make that assumption because I read some unusual books. Tom - 22/02/2011 08:14:42 PM 978 Views
Only that I take you for one of the few people who are more widely-read than I am, that's all *NM* Larry - 22/02/2011 04:20:35 PM 323 Views
But I can only read 30-40 books a year at a maximum! Tom - 22/02/2011 08:10:14 PM 712 Views
