The Rushlight List

[Stephanie]

I came across this blog today and though it might be of interest to the group. The author has complied a list of one book for every country, and each book is considered to be a well-known (usually prize-winning) work that is set in that country. Just glancing at it, I'd say I've read 6-8 of the 200 books on the list. It could be an interesting resource the next time we're looking for books that fill prompts about far off lands or character perspectives. I'll probably book mark it and try to make my way through the list, eventually!

That's really cool. Also...I've read one of those. -.-

I think my problem is going to be finding them without buying. My library's digital files at least is pretty heavily American. I've been having trouble with Read harder, one of the prompts is a book by a Central American author, set in Central America. Found a list of books that fit those criteria, and none of the ones that sounded interesting were available digitally. So it probably means having to go through physical library network and hoping that SOME library within the network has at least some of them.
