Although the blog’s been quiet, I have been reading. Here are numbers 101 to 110:
101 | Mauritius | The Last Brother | Nathacha Appanah |
102 | Cameroon | Houseboy | Ferdinand Oyono |
103 | The Gambia | Reading the Ceiling | Dayo Forster |
104 | Iraq | The Marsh Arabs | Wilfred Thesiger |
105 | Cape Verde | The Last Will and Testament of Senhor da Silva Araujo | Germano Almeida |
106 | Denmark | The Year of Living Danishly | Helen Russell |
107 | Latvia | With Dance Shoes in Siberian Snows | Sandra Kalniete |
108 | Tanzania | Desertion | Abdulrazak Gurnah |
109 | Austria | The Tobacconist | Robert Seethaler |
110 | Marshall Islands | Surviving Paradise | Peter Rudiak-Gould |
Amazingly, I didn’t have my book-from-every-country reading organized into a spreadsheet before now. Now that I’ve got a spreadsheet, I can graph my progress:
I’m kind of impressed at the steadiness of my progress over time!
I need to read 20.5 books per year for this project for the next four years to finish the project in 10 years. That’s a little higher than my average pace so far, but not by much. I can do this!
Good progress I m at 105 countries I have a few on tbr to come at some point

Thanks! It’s also a reminder of how shockingly quickly time goes by. It’s really been 6 years since I started doing this?
