That makes sense. I will keep looking for an author to read for this task.

Can I assume that the Colm Tobin on the list is Colm Tóibín?

There's not much left in South America. I'm having a lot of trouble finding a country there to read that hasn't already been taken.

Thank you.

I visited my parents today and my mother gave me a 1933 edition of The Trumpet in the Dust which she has just finished, telling me it all took place in one day. I would like to use it for this task. According to my copy it was first published in 1921. Can I use this date for Oldies points?
