The Global Reading Challenge is hosted by Dorte at the 2011 Global Reading Challenge blog. You can read the rules and sign in here. I decided to do the Easy Level.
The Easy Challenge
Read one novel from each of these continents in the course of 2011:

Australasia


Europe

From your own continent: try to find a country, state or author that is new to you.
(Elizabeth Strout is a new-to-me author)


South America (please include Central America where it is most convenient for you)

The Seventh Continent (here you can either choose Antarctica or your own ´seventh´ setting, eg the sea, the space, a supernatural/paranormal world, history, the future – you name it).
