I also intend to look through works you've already read. This is such a great idea and world lit is my favorite "genre". Look forward to seeing your future entries! :) I just found your blog and have subscribed. I also intend to look through works you’ve already read.

Literature allows amazing insight into the cultures of the world. The books you have read or have already read, are they translated into English from the source text or are these book originally written in English? I am trying to increase demand for translated foreign works into English. Please check out my blog http://worldlostintranslation.blogspot.com/. I'd love your input and recommendations, if you've read anything good that you'd like to add. Good luck! (If you haven't read something from Algeria try The Last Summer of Reason. It's not plot driven, but the prose is beautiful.) Excellent and ambitious goal! Literature allows amazing insight into the cultures of the world.

What an admirable goal! One question - how much research do you do before you decide which book you will read? Do other websites give you information? Stories are universal, though, and I guess almost any story from another country will have something good in it. Maybe you can form a group to help you finish it. Power in numbers. Maybe it could be done in blocks of 5 or 10 books which a certain group of people would order and read by a certain time, and then share ideas. Just an idea. Kind of like a World Book-of-the-Two-Moons Club. stedawa Hope you continue with your journey through literature. What an admirable goal!
