I fulfilled the Scandinavian Book Challenge that Amy has going on.<br /><br />Read two from Australia, "Gunshot Road," by Adrian Hyland, which is very well-written, and "Truth" by Peter Temple.<br /><br />And I have read a new one from Italy by Gianrico Carofiglio and one from South Africa by Deon Meyer and need to read one from Latin American and one from Asia. Should be a cinch.<br /><br />Am trying to fulfill my informal global challenge. But I have found so many books in my Web travels that there are huge to be read lists here and I keep writing new ideas down.<br /><br />I want to read the book by a Nigerian author that you listed, but there are so many good, new books out now.kathy d.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9995206.post-38809793839501326612010-09-19T07:48:34.573-05:002010-09-19T07:48:34.573-05:00So, after reading about Nigeria, kathy, my next my...So, after reading about Nigeria, kathy, my next mystery was partially set in Russia.
