Around the World in Books From 250 Places Around the Globe

I started my trek around the world through books in 2009, finishing my first complete circuit of the world in late 2011. In 2012, I read around the world again, completing 240 locations within that year alone. I have been adding more books read to this list ever since, and this is a sampling of books set in 250 locations I have read on my journey. Each country of the world is represented here, plus a few locations that are either geographically isolated, semi-autonomous, or disputed. I try to read books that are written by native authors AND set in the location whenever possible (there some outliers, however). If you are curious or bored, you can view the complete list of my book travels here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/18478768-diane-s-world-travels-by-book.
