Reading Around the World


The Challenge: 
Experience the world through fiction. Why fiction? Reading fiction is associated with better social cognition, it builds empathy, and I enjoy it. I'm also a millennial and international travel with a 9-5 and two kid and a mortgage. A library card, suffice it to say, fits the budget.

The Rules:     
  • My full itinerary is logged on my Novels Around the World Map. Each nation is represented by at least one novel or short story, but many have multiple volumes associated with them. 
  • Each title is set in, based on, can be linked to, or written by someone from the nation it represents.
  • Due to my limited capacities, all books in this project are available in English. 
  • Whenever possible, native authors will be included on the itinerary of each nation. Titles by native authors are marked with an asterisk in the Travel Log for each nation (linked below).
  • Some nations span multiple continents. For easy navigation, I've grouped these nations in a single travel log.  
  • There is no timeline for this challenge. It will take forever and I'm okay with that.

Travel Logs:
  • Africa
  • Asia
  • Europe
  • North America
  • Oceania & Ocean Territories
  • South America
