Orbis Terrarum 2009

orbis_terrarum_mapI’m very glad that the Orbis Terrarum challenge is back, this time with its own blog! While the premise remains the same-travelling through lit-the rules have changed a little. It runs ten months this year (March-Dec.) and requires readers to choose ten books by ten different authors from ten different countries.  Last year, I made a list that changed a lot.  This year, I am not going to make a list before hand and see where my reading takes me!  Stay tuned for some spontaneous and fun travels. 

  1. Who by Fire by Diana Spechler (United States).  For my first book, I did not travel very far from home.  You can find my review here.
  2. White Tiger by Aravind Adiga(Australia--he was born in India, but has citizenship in Australia).  I finished this book in July 2009 while in Thailand.  You can find my review here.
  3. They Plotted Revenge Against America by Abe F. March (Germany, he was born in the US but currently resides in Germany).  I finished the book in May 2009.  You can find my review here.
  4. Ali and Nino by Kurban Said (Azerbaijan, it is at the crossroads of Wesetern Asia and Eastern Europe). I finished the book in April 2009.  You can find my review here.
  5. Eva Luna by Isabel Allende (Chili).  I finished the book on the train in September 2009.  You can find my review here.
