I've been meaning to read books by Italo Calvino for a while so I might give it a try. :)
Calvino is not easy, so be prepared.I was forgetting Switzerland!
Friedrich Dürrenmatt and Max Frisch
I know. That's why I was putting off reading Calvino's works for so long. But now I'm going for it.Thanks for the Swiss authors suggestion. :)

The Hypnotist by Lars Kepler (Sweden )- but horrifying and gruesome.
I'm up for it, Em. Sweden will be on the list soon. :)
Interesting list! good luck! :)
