Trying to broaden my literary horizon with Reading the world - inspired by Ann Morgan whose journey of reading one book from every (UN recognized) country of the world is documented on her website "A year of reading the world". She also has a list of reading suggestions.
I won't set a deadline for this challenge, I just think it's interesting to document if you can boost the variety of authors and literatures you read by simply paying attention on where they are from. Books I have on my to-read-pile are marked blue.
