Diane  | 13052 comments My around the world book travels and list of authors read by country of residence, since 2009 (scroll to bottom of post to see authors)

Goal: to read books set in each country, incorporating a variety of genres. At least one book from each country must be written by either a native author or author who has been a resident in the country for at least 1 year. Although most of the books I read are from native authors, I refuse to confine myself and my book selections. I like to read books that represent a broad variety of perspectives and viewpoints from each destination. I also feel it is important for me to read from a variety of different genres, mixing both fiction and nonfiction, contemporary and classic.

This project has introduced me to many new authors and given me a better insight into world cultures, history, and travel.



247 countries, disputed countries, and territories visited so far.
