I've reviewed the books here, though at some point I might cross-post them.
I
began this book-from-every-country game a year ago today. I'm at 54%
completed (some of them prior to a year ago), with 48 books to read in
hand, 37 additional books identified, and 4 countries with no book or
not as good a book as I'd like. I also have a few books to read from
significant non-country countries (i.e., possessions or non-sovereign
protectorates).
I'll be interested to see how long this second
half takes. Some of the countries that remain are small, non-anglophone,
or have poor infrastructure, so books are harder to find. Some of the
books I've acquired I've put off reading (Oy! I'm not up for another
narrative of war/female genital mutilation!) and so may be slower going.
My map is interesting to contemplate. Which countries take up the most space,
and to what extent does that correlate with the availability of
English-language books or translations?
