Yes, another challenge. I just could not resist this one. You can find the info here. I have to choose nine books from nine authors from nine different countries.
Here are my selections:
1. Russia: Doctor Zhivago by Boris Pasternak
2. Colombia: One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
3. Portugal: The Gospel According to Jesus Christ by Jose Saramago ** Completed July 29th 2008
4. Italy: The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco
5. Chile: The House of the Spirits by Isabel Allende
6. Ireland: Commitments by Roddy Doyle * Couldn't find the book, so decided to still go with the "I", so instead of Ireland, I'm doing India, The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy. ** Completed August 31st 2008
7. France: Around The World In Eighty Days by Jules Verne
8. Afghanistan: The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini ** Completed August 10th 2008
