And please do let me know if you discover any additional non-European books.<br /><br />Savidgereads: Don't worry: <i>2666</i> is actually divided into five separate books, so it's not as scary as it looks.<br /><br />JoAnn: You MUST read Bolano. EVERYONE must read Bolano.<br /><br />Rhapsody: Somehow, that doesn't make me feel any better. Reading more female authors is one of my New Year's resolutions.<br /><br />Lu: Oh good! I'm not alone then!<br /><br />Softdrink: I dunno . . .

I also hope to read more books from Africa this coming year, so please keep me posted if you discover any great works from that continent (I just bought <em>Petals of Blood</em> by Ngugi Wa Thiong'o yesterday).
