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!

Your comment is awaiting moderation, it was just easier to go this route than to have those insane word verification boxes that are shockingly hard to read!

It should show up in the comments shortly, thank you for commenting!
