Last year, I discovered that most of the books I had been reading were by Scandinavian, British or American authors. I realised this was a bit narrowed and that I probably were loosing out on a lot of wonderful books and writers by sticking to safe territory, so I decided to read wider, broader. Thus I came up with the idea of travelling around the world in books. One book every month should be from a country I've never read before. So far I've visited Angola, Sri Lanka, Croatia, Hungary, Iran and Portugal. In previous years I've also covered France, Russia, Iceland, Algeria, Japan, Canada, Spain, Turkey, Bosnia, Finland, Australia, China, Haiti, Colombia, and South-Africa.
Now I'm looking for new countries, new writers, new books - and I'd love to hear some recommendations. Do you know any wonderful writers out there in the big wide, world I should check out on my literary travel around the world?
