Around the World in 80 Books discussion

...This post is a work in progress for a couple of days - just popping it here to get started - still need to add my links...

I have been doing this challenge for a couple of years on my own - before I discovered this group. I am posting here what I have read so far - As I read new countries I will post them below then update this first post so I can keep track.

SO this means I am a circumnavigator but come 2015 I will also join in one of the more structured challenges.
