The World Between Two Covers: Reading the Globe by Ann Morgan

3.0

A slow and thoughtful read. Ann Morgan decided to read a book from every country of the world and blogged about it over the course of a year. This book describes some of the challenges, frustrations as well as the benefits she found in doing this. They ranged from defining which countries to include, issues of censorship, political ideologies encountered, the lack of a publishing industry in many countries, translation problems and how we are all essentially reading through our own cultural lenses, no matter how hard we try.
This was quite dry at times, hence only the 3* rating but I think its a book I have learned a lot from, especially about the way I read, and I will come back to it in the future.
