Books of the World--Halfway Mark

I've summitted Books of the World, with 50% of countries "visited" yesterday according to Travel Buddy. On a rough count, I read about half of them in the less-than-11 months since I began, while the rest I'd read before. Technically, I could count countries like Cambodia for this year since I've read books from those authors recently, but the ones I wanted to list I had read further in the past.

There's no definitive list of "countries," and Travel Buddy lists quite a few independent-yet-dependent countries like Greenland. Not Guadalupe, though, nor Palestine (and there's a South Pacific country missing from their list). I'm being flexible and reading books from places like French Polynesia as I can.

I know that some of the books I've read in the past are at my office (The God of Small Things, for example), but some seem to be missing. Where is North, or Sonnets to Orpheus, or the Amos Oz that I know I owned? A mystery.











Now I'm off to a city with a big bookstore.
