Object: Read around the world using the books on the combined 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die lists.
Time Limit: None. Challenge is ongoing.
Page Number Requirements: None
The only real rule is that the book must be found on one of the editions of Boxall's 1001 Books lists. I have made a list to get you started: http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/6... Note: Obviously, I haven't read all these books (...yet). I have based the settings based upon book descriptions, reader reviews, and other online sources. There are probably a good many that aren't precisely accurate in terms of where they are set. Also, there are a handful of 1001 books that did not make it on this list for one reason or another (i.e. no clear place settings, too many settings, settings in outer space and/or fantasy realms, etc.). Books to use are not limited to the books I have listed on the link (as I may have missed a few). Any 1001 book with a designated setting may be used. Vague or unnamed settings can default to the author's country of origin.
To post your progress, simply start a new topic in this folder. Please keep all of your updates in your same topic, making a new post with each book or group of books read. You may do this challenge in conjunction with the other group challenges, but if you are participating in this challenge, you must post your results for this challenge on this thread.
