a year of reading the world

I’ll also keep an eye on LAF’s website for inspiration…. Pingback: Reading || Time to #ReadTheWorld!

We just started so the archive is small but there might be some places and books to explore. one question. My project taught me that storytelling is not only a universal human impulse but a vital tool for building understanding across cultural, geographical, political and religious barriers. You inspired me to use this concept to explore some different avenues, so cheers!

Of David Grossman (Israel), my favourite writer, please do not miss Be my knife . all the very best for your work and i am deeply inspire I arrived a little early to find the members – all women and most retired – engaged in a lively discussion of their latest read, which the librarian had ordered in from libraries across the county to ensure that everyone had a copy. At the time, I think I did intend to work my way through them all eventually and I have cherry-picked a number of titles in the six years since the end of the original project.

( Log Out /  What argentinian author have you chosen? It is a wonderful, joyous book… and a strong argument for digging out a few more of those recommendations from that there list. find time to read all those books, and then write regular, decent, lengthy posts? (b) What was the weirdest book you came across during your project? It is perhaps best enjoyed like the ocean that washes through so many of its pages – with a readiness to immerse ourselves, balanced with an awareness of how far we have ventured from the shore. All the country names are links to posts on each book for each country…. On the flip side, far more African men tend to read than their female counterparts, but they don’t spend a lot of time doing it. This is absolutely incredible. How lovely to meet you and discover your blog.

A list including works from all such nations would certainly have taken more than a year.

In her foreword, co-translator Nina McPherson warns that the Orwellian quality of the Communist rhetoric spouted by certain characters is deliberately satirical, as if worried that such sections might jar or disconcert readers. It’s always strange to hear that the place you were born and raised, with it’s courts, and political parties, and history and dramas isn’t a “country.” C’est la vie! Wonderful – thanks very much. they both are fantastic read n u will surely enjoy. I’ll need all the luck I can get! (Our book proofreading service will ensure your novel is publication ready). You can download the free sample at the iBooks store to experience the multi-touch features for yourself. I see you already have a few down for your Jamaica book, but I’ve got another to recommend: John Crow’s Devil by Marlon James, a wonderfully dark fantasy that weaves folk tales and superstition into a real-life story of betrayal, deprivation and alienation. Laura, your first instinct was absolutely right (and may I congratulate you on being I think the first person to name that location). Where next? This really is an awesome idea! Have you already covered a German book? It is ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE.

I hope you enjoy them as much as I did. Feel free to do the same if you’d like, my provisional list can be found at: http://therushlight.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/list.html. For my money, however, there is one recent Mexican book that stands in a class of its own: Fernanda Melchor’s Hurricane Season, translated by Sophie Hughes. Among the numerous things I enjoy when I learn about other international reading quests is finding out what specific parameters the reader in question has set themself. I need to catch up on the blog and see all your posts and then I will have some suggestions to add. Consider this: In Africa, the reading time on mobile jumped up by a whopping 32% in 2018. NYC is one of my absolute favourite places. Wishing you the best of luck. Indiana’s exploration of the possibilities of technology in the near future – where we might, for example, have access to a PriceSpy that will enable us to spot whether someone’s clothes are fake – are joyous, thought-provoking and sometimes alarming. haha. Sounds great but I’m only reading stories this year – novels, memoirs, short story collections and narrative poetry (at a stretch). I’ve recently watched your video on TED where you explained your project and the overwhelming surprises you encoutered since you opened this blog. I also look forward to attempting to read books you have listed. Thanks Naomi. I have a feeling it won’t stop there. Thanks Jordan. This is a precious blog. Before you know it, a month has passed and you’re still nowhere near to exhausting the leads that sprouted from that original book. The choir is a long story, but in a nutshell some of the big London churches have singers they pay to come in and sing services, weddings and funerals on next to no rehearsal – it’s a sort of choral SWAT team that descends, performs and disappears. Ahhh, you’re an angel, thanks!

A wonderful book, Thanks for inspiring me and so many others. Enter your email address to follow this blog and receive notifications of new posts by email. However, Mahala’s enthusiasm really caught fire when I asked him for recommendations of other contemporary South African writers whose work I should explore. Thanks!

He luck to us. I bought this as a gift for Mahala and we persuaded another member of staff to snap the picture at the start of this post: two authors brought together across thousands of miles, holding each other’s stories. Wow, I’m very honoured. I love it!

Having lived in many countries and writing in three languages, I am a fan. The novel had been written in English (and after my enlightening exchange with Indian journalist Suneetha Balakrishnan I was making a concerted effort to read more translated books) and it was about cricket, of which, I have to confess, I am not a fan.

Good luck, I hope you enjoy it greatly! Sometimes, these parameters illuminate important issues about the way stories circulate. Thanks very much Elissaveta. Pingback: Reading the World – Christchurch City Libraries Blog, Pingback: Reading Map | time has fallen asleep in the afternoon sunshine. Thanks for spending some time with us, Ann! Certain that Sophie must have discovered some gems on her literary travels, I contacted her recently to pick her brains for recommendations.

Thanks much for including me in your project. I’m particularly interested in books that most readers in the UK may not know have heard of. Even with all that work, the text was incomplete, with indecipherable lines skipped out, and the whole story teemed with references and storytelling conventions that I couldn’t begin to decipher. hey, TJ's Books That Have Sold More Than 10 Million Copies, BBC Radio Oxford (Howard Bentham) - 100 Books You Must Read Before You Die. Great stuff, thanks John. The dense weave of the chapters does not support dipping in and out.

I want to use my reading to learn more about the world and its history, so I tried doing something similar. No doubt I’ll be in touch again before long. Social media has been full of lists of must-read books by writers of colour (including this excellent resource put together by award-winning translator Jennifer Croft), and many people have declared their intention to broaden their cultural intake and seek out works by people from demographics that have traditionally been marginalised in anglophone publishing. I shall look this one up and add it to the list. To me, it never feels gratuitous – indeed, one of its greatest achievements is the way that the events are so richly imagined that Melchor and Hughes manage to take us into extreme mindsets (from murderous frenzies and rank bigotry to fantasies involving bestiality) and show the mechanisms by which love and vulnerability can be sublimated into such things. If you could give one piece of advice to the budding world lit reader, what would it be? I will follow what you’re reading and I admire the journey you have decided to take. And very courageous, on your part. Oh i am awestruck to hear this wonderful idea of yours and i am really excited to know the book you have chosen to read from Nepal.I could refer you one by late Jagdish Ghimire “antarman ko yatra”. It’s well worth taking the leap though—and you can surprise yourself by how close a great story can make you feel to events you could never experience for yourself.
