Interesting list, Coco! I like your selections for the Middle East. Tell me how 'Sabra Zoo' was. What are planning to start with?

1Q84 and Shadow of the wind. Have to acquire the rest... :|

And you have some pretty hard-to-find-in-India titles there.

Yeah, am giving myself plenty of choice, will not increase my goal also...

Ooh! Your list reminded me I had forgotten all about adding 'Seven Years in Tibet' . And your list is really good! I am now going to borrow a few from your list! :D

Judy wrote: "Scarlett, nice list that combines both classics and contemporary. Nice blog!"

thank you Judy. I now hope to find all these or atkeast 50% of these books. If not, they'll be carried forward. :)

I hope you like Whatever You Do, Don't Run: True Tales of a Botswana Safari Guide I read it earlier this year and loved it.

Oh cool... am still looking where to source that book from, though. Amazon or Flipkart it has to be if all else fails. :)

I added your selections to the master list(s). Looks like a good year!
