The list

This is a record of all the valid book recommendations I received before, during
and in the year after my 2012 quest. I chose one book for each nation for the
project. These are underlined and you can click the titles or country names to
read my thoughts on each choice.

I continue to update the list by choosing one new title a month as my Book of
the month. Links to these reviews are highlighted in orange. If you have a
recommendation (or you know about an English version of one of the books
marked translation sought), please leave a comment at the bottom.
