Welcome! I've added your books to the master list. Some people are counting Night Watch for Kazakhstan, in case you wanted another country (since you have Russia for another book). I just finished 1Q84 and had a blast reading it.

I'm actually going to edit this list, if that's okay- sorry!
I would like to replace Russia's "Night Watch" and Vietnam's "When Hell Was in Session" with:
Germany- Every Man Dies Alone
Thailand- Sightseeing

(I don't know if there's a way to actually edit the original post; I hope just making it in a comment will work).
Thanks again for doing this!!

I got your changes. No worries, all of us just keep tweaking. :)

Wow Christie, great choices!

The Pillars of the Earth is an epic read - I loved it.

And you've got fabulous taste, I'm also going to read Reading Lolita in Tehran, The Glassblower of Murano, Half of a Yellow Sun andA Long Way Gone

The Tenth Gift is a great choice for Morocco!

You list sounds really interesting I msut say. I foudn a few books I'm going to check out. And I also have Don Quixote on my list.

Follow your whims, as I'm certain you'll enjoy it far more that way.
