Charity has picked a wonderful shelf for us next month, Around the World -especially interesting since we celebrated Harmony Day yesterday (at schools) to coincide with the United Nations International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination.

Which book/s is on your tbr?
Which book/s would you recommend, especially to help readers understand a particular culture?

I have many of these books on my TBR, just to name some:

Reading Lolita in Tehran
And the Mountains Echoed
Anna Karenina
War and Peace
The Brothers Karamazov
The Plague
Reading the Ceiling
In the Country of Men
Dona Flor and Her Two Husbands

I would recommend reading:

A Thousand Splendid Suns - for Afghanistan
My Name is Red - for Turkey
The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind: Creating Currents of Electricity and Hope - for Malawi

All the books I recommended were 5 stars books for me, they are extremely good ones in my opinion.

I am both amazed at how many books on this list I have read and at how many are still on my TBR!

Here are a few I would like to read soon:
The Bookseller of Kabul
The Blood of Flowers
The Little Paris Bookshop
The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down: A Hmong Child, Her American Doctors, and the Collision of Two Cultures
The Book of Night Women

I'm actually off the first two weeks of April and the books that I had selected for then are on this shelf, thanks Charity.

I am going to attempt to read -

Fall Of Giants
Winter of the World
Edge of Eternity

I think I'll start with either The Cuckoo's Calling or The Blackhouse, depending on what I can get from the library. Both look like good mysteries. But this is a great shelf, so there are lots of great possibilities.

A Man Called Ove

Where do I start? I am not sure what I'll read for this offhand, but books to help understand cultures are too numerous to mention.

The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency
The Goat Lady's Daughter
The Tin Flute
People of the Deer

I think I'll see if I can read A Thousand Splendid Suns and One Hundred Years of Solitude. They will hopefully coincide with my Bookopoly reads :-)

Oh, Charity, both of those are wonderful. Enjoy!

I think I finally will pick up . There are others that I may read but this one has been calling out to me for a while.

I'm going to read Americanah

I would like to read

All the Light We Cannot See

Not sure what I will read.....there are so many already on my TBR. I'll end up with one for sure.

May I add Music & Silence
