I need to read a novel, play, 5 short stories, or a book of poetry by a writer from any country besides the US and/or England. The writing can be classical or contemporary, but I'd appreciate an exciting read!! As I figured this would be an awesome opportunity to read something awesome, I'd like help to find the "perfect" book.
For example,
Anna Karenina (but TOO LONG!!)
Prisoner of Tehran
Stolen Lives by Malima Askar
something by Pearl S. Buck
A Long Way Gone by Ishmael Baeb (which i own and am thinking of doing)
From a Crooked Rib by Ruddin Farah
By Bread Alone-Mel Mermelstein?
Much as I love The Kite Runner and its sequel, neither of those are available.
I've already read The Good Earth.
Thanks!!
