Top 10 Foreign Setting Books I Want to Read
.png)
I've come to the depressing conclusion that I am a "Lucy"- and not the adventurous one from The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Think more A Room with a View, but minus all the romance. That is, while I love the idea of jetting off to travel or teach English in another country for a year, the second I start running the logistics in my mind, I know I won't do it, no matter how much I want to.
I will do some major traveling one day, but for now, I will content myself with books. Because books make everything better. :)
I'm not a big non-fiction reader, but I love getting immersed in the landscape and culture of another country. Thus, 8/10 of these are fiction, and two are non-fiction memoirs that sounded really fun.
What about you guys? Do you have any favorite books set in other countries? Or any non-fiction recommendations?
That's it for this round of 10! Thanks for stopping by and check back tomorrow for this week's Updates! In which I read books. ;)

Love love LOVE The Alchemist! Some readers don't care for Coelho's style of writing; it's very simplistic, as if his stories are really fables. But I love the message behind The Alchemist, and I breezed through it in just two days.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you liked The Alchemist! I chose it mainly for the setting, but a good story and characters never hurt, right? ;)
DeleteTry 'Between Shades of Gray' for some historical culture shock
ReplyDeleteps LOVE all these simple changes you are making to the blog!
DeleteI thought about adding Between Shades of Gray, but... I don't want to visit Siberia. I'm bad about cold weather. ^^; And thank you! I meant to be all done with the design changes, but the little things aren't as bad once the main overhaul is done. :)
