This is my organizing post for my 2023 challenges.
European Reading Challenge
Gilion's original post
My challenge signup
The idea is to visit European countries by reading books set there. I signed up for the maximum level, which is five, but it's likely I'll read more than that.
1.) Henry James/The Wings of the Dove (Italy)
2.) Robert Gerwarth/November 1918 (Germany)
3.) Eric Ambler/The Levanter (Cyprus)
4.) Samuel Butler/The Way of All Flesh (UK)
5.) Victor Gruen/Shopping Town (Austria)
