Reasons for doing this:
- It's a great way to read a diverse selection of writers from around the world
- Someone thought they were very good in order to give them a prize
- It'll expose me to lots of different forms of literature from over a hundred year span and a number of countries
A few rules:
- I'm only going to review things that I can acquire at my local library. (So no Sully Prudhomme, aka the first winner)
- I will read things in English, unless possibly I find a good Spanish language copy, in which case I might read them in Spanish, but probably not
- I will review the books here based on both whether I liked them (as a reader) and whether I think they're good books (from hopefully a more "well, this did interesting things, even if I thought they were stupid" perspective)
So hopefully I'll find some great books. Maybe I'll just read a lot. Stay tuned for more!
