Reading around the world in 8 or so years

So, I have decided to join Tonya in her quest to read herself around the world.

So, here is my list (I have read a few from her "already read" list, so in order to facilitate things, I copied that from her):

Ecuador - Living Poor

Austria - A Death In Vienna

Ireland - Angela's Ashes and The Celtic Riddle

Russia - A Day in the life of Ivan Denisovich

The United States - As I Lay Dying or Angle of Repose

China - Snow Flower and the Secret Fan

Australia - Mutant Message Down Under

Republic of Lebanon - Little Mountain

Brazil - A Death in Brazil: A Book of Omissions


Have a great suggestion or two? Leave a comment!
