For the second time now, I have decided to join a reading challenge. After signing up for the Russian trip, I have decided to go on a world tour - 9 countrie to be precise. The Orbis Terrarum (whole world) challenge being hosted by B&b Ex-Libris is a truly irresistible one. No one can give you as much variety and quality at the same time. I need to pick 9 books from authors of 9 different countries (the best part being I can change the same anytime). Here is my pick currently:
- Cat’s Cradle Kurt Vonnegut (US)
- Cat and Mouse Gunter Grass (Poland)
- The Drowned World J.G.Ballard (China)
- Love etc. Julian Barnes (UK)
- One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich A.I. Solzhenitsyn (Russia)
- The Passion According to G.H Clarice Lispector (Ukraine)
- Things Georges Perec (France)
- Under the Net Iris Murdoch (Ireland)
- The Life and Times of Michael K J.M. Coetzee (South Africa)
A word for the book that helped me compile this list - 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die. It is a fascinating collectors piece for ny book-lover, whether you agree with the compilation or not.
