2014 Reading Olympics discussion

Sailing being one of my favorite pastimes, I can attest to the fact that it can take you almost anywhere (within reason - this pretty much excludes outer space - sorry!). Sailing allows you to travel the world and experience a variety of different cultures and ways of life that may differ drastically from your own. Therefore, this competition will focus heavily on exploring foreign cultures and beliefs through reading.

Countries have 72 hours (starting now) to read and review as many books as possible that take place in different countries/locations around the world. Only one athlete representing your country must read a book for it to qualify for this challenge. For example, if 4 books were read in total, your country's section on the scoreboard might look something like this:
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows- England - Rosie
Mockingjay- America - Justin
Hatchet - Canada - Louis
Night - Poland - Amy

If a book is set in multiple locations, it will only count for one country (of your choosing). Books must be set in physical, geographic locations that are still in existence today. For example, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows would represent England, not "Hogwarts" or "the magical world." Once you have read and reviewed a book (50+ words per review), please post a link to your review below, along with the book title, setting/country, and the country you are representing. A live score will be continually updated on the scoreboard.

Happy reading!
