Around the World in 80 Books Challenge





Around the World in 80 Books Reading Challenge


You would probably say that I'm hooked on challenges, but I really like the idea of this one. It is called Around the World in 80 Books and is hosted by Stacey at Have Books, Will Travel.

I have made my own rules (I may, may I?), as Stacey's are probably too much for me. So here is my modified version:
  • I have five years to complete my journey. My start date is November 6, 2012 and my end date will be November 5, 2017. Who knows what will happen in 5 years, I'll just go at my own pace and pick up what I like, as my main reason for this undertaking is to explore a bit and probably find something new out of my comfort zone.
  • I'm counting the books that take place in a particular country. If a book takes place in multiple countries then I will count it towards the country I don't yet have in my list. A cheat? You bet! ;)
  • I can't promise to research a lot about the country, but if there are some cultural peculiarities in the book, I may include some background knowledge that I find interesting in my reviews.
I'm not going to make a list in advance, I'll just put here the links to the books which count, and we'll see where it'll bring me!

My Book List:

1. CZECH REPUBLIC:
  • Povídky z druhé kapsy (Stories from Another Pocket) by Karel Čapek
2. UNITED KINGDOM:
3. ITALY:
4. FRANCE:
5. RUSSIA:
