Around the World in Books

I've been wanting to keep track of my reading by country for a while and I was inspired by CaribousMom, so I'm finally starting something similar. I don't want to include books that I've already read, I'm starting with a clean slate. I will continue adding to this list as I discover books I want to read - if I've read them there will be a link to my thoughts.
