The British Isles are excluded because I read British authors all the time, so it wouldn’t be much of a challenge unless I decided to read James Joyce.

Psst! James Joyce wasn’t British. ;-)

the country that I’m going to read is…Greece!

You know, looking at my shelves I think I only have one contemporary novel from Greecy myself: Stolen Time by Vangelis Hatzyannidis. We’ll see what you make of this one.

I’ve already chosen my next place, and it’s Finland.

Maybe I’ll start reading more world literature and continue to expand my horizons.

I've already chosen my next place, and it's Finland. I'll wait a couple of months and then read a Finnish novel. After that, who knows? Hi Bridget!

I’ve already chosen my next place, and it’s Finland. I’ll wait a couple of months and then read a Finnish novel. After that, who knows?
