blog tres interessant
Merci Thierry. Votre blog est aussi tres interessant.
Fab blog, I was at the Literature in translation talk at the LBF and I couldn’t wait to check it out. I work for Europa Editons here in the UK, I see you have several of our authors on your list, that’s great! Maybe I can suggest some more and/or provide you with books? Do get in touch. All best, Daniela
Excellent blog. Mine is similar, although admittedly less scholarly.

Good stuff – I like your UN rating system.
great idea for a blog, wish I had discovered it sooner! I’ll definitely be reading some of your past posts as well. Happy reading!
Love your idea for your blog! A literary trip around the world, congrats, this is very unusual and welcome!
Thanks Claude. Very nice of you to stop by and take the time to comment.
It’s a fantastic idea, love it! And of course I follow you
Thanks!
Hello Ann- I found your blog while doing some searches. What an amazing idea! Just so you know, I’m not particularly representative of Armenia. I grew up in Los Angeles and now reside in Boston. My collection is more or a less a meditation on immigration and family. I can’t write in Armenian and “Bringing Ararat” has not been translated into Armenian. I’m not trying to be a downer or anything, just being honest here. If you still would like to read it at some point, and you can’t find it in the UK, just shoot me an email, and I can send you a PDF version. Oddly, my newest book, which is a thriller (and pretty much the complete opposite of “Bringing Ararat”), is being published by a small UK-based press. Small world. Anyway, I wish you the best!
Thanks Armand. Great to hear from you and thanks for being honest. Your book is on the list because someone recommended it – I haven’t yet chosen my Armenian book. I’d be very interested to know if there are any more representative Armenian writers that you know of that you would recommend…
let me see if I can dig anything up

Great – thanks. I’ll check this out
What an awesome project!
You’re absolutely right about India! Impossible to grasp easily. I was fortunate to spend 3 weeks there in 2011, mostly in the south, far northeast, and north central. Every state and region is distinctive and amazing. A very complex system. Thanks for the book suggestion!
Thanks Kathleen. It is a great country. Glad you enjoyed your trip.
Wow! Great Work and an amazing idea…I’ll follow you
Good Luck!
Great – thanks!
Your blog is simply amazing…
and yes i definitely follow it…
Thanks – great to have you along for the ride.
Woop, I just made your day!
Just wanted to say I’m really loving this and looking forwards to going back and reading all your posts when I have some more time 
How quickly do you usually read these books? It seems like you manage to update so often!
Thanks Rebecca. Reading 196 books in a year works out to something like one book every 1.87 days. But some books are long and some are short. I aim to read four a week. Thanks for stopping by.
Wow, that’s great. I used to read loads but got distracted by college/uni (required reading gets annoying!!). I think I need to get my game on and get at least a book a week in.
I can’t wait to hear how your year went. I just found your list on the web and that alone is worth gold. Thanks for sharing it, Shelly
You’re very welcome. Thanks for the comment
Hi
I just reblogged your page on India through the wordpress platform.
Thank you once more for this pilgrimage in books.

Hi Ann, I love reading World literature, particularly novels, so I’m planning to read your all your blogs. I don’t know if you’ve read a novel about Sri Lanka yet? If not, I can recommend Brixton Beach.
Thanks very much. The project ends on 31 December, so I have finished all my reading for the year – just two last posts to go – but I’ll add Brixton Beach to the list when I next update it so other readers can check it out.
Thanks Ann, it could go under UK too as it’s a very good example of 1st generation immagrant experience, but it also gives a huge amount of insight into the civil war in Sri Lanka. I’ve looked at your list and look forward to reading many of the titles listed – I’ve read some but there are plently there for me to enjoy. Thank you for getting back to me and please keep blogging. All the best from Anna.
Very interesting, I am a blogger as well on African Lit. keep it up. I have added some of the novels you mentioned in my TBR. http://www.maryokekereviews.blogspot.com
Keep it up!
Thanks – best of luck with your blog
Awesome, Superb,
I keep wondering how to encourage little kids to read. You showed me the way!
It’s so inspiring.
Thanks very much. Glad it’s helpful.
