Read a Book From Every Country in the World! - Page 2

Fiction, poetry, nonfiction, etc! Most countries I've read more than one book from, so I included the earliest or most intriguing one I read.
Criteria for what counts as "a book from that country":
--author was born and raised in the country
or
--author was raised in that country
or
--author was born in that country
or
--author lived in the country for a significant period of time
