This is a record of all the valid book recommendations I received before, during and in the year after after my 2012 quest. I chose one book for each nation for the project. These are underlined and you can click the titles or country names to read my thoughts on each choice.
I continue to update the list by choosing one new title a month as my Book of the month. Links to these reviews are highlighted in orange. If you have a recommendation (or you know about an English version of one of the books marked ‘translation sought’), please leave a comment at the bottom.
