I don't know where I am off to next. I have books by authors from 7 new countries (Denmark, Lesotho, Bhutan, Guinea, Guatemala, Venezuela, Mozambique) but also a lot of other stuff. I have some Milan Kundera and Albert Camus to read, as well as a couple of books from China. I also have an odd collection of old science books from the nineteenth century, so I may have a go at some of those. I usually just start something random then give up if I am not in the mood and start something else.
Any recommendations are always welcome though!
