White means I have no data yet.
Orange means I have at least one author in mind, and if you click through you’ll go to the book page on Amazon.
Green means I have the country done.
And red means I have the country done but I have at least one more author in mind that seems sweller.
Some lists for the Caribbean and related areas are posted on Shoshana’s blog, here:

Nice. Like a gigantic game of literary Risk.
Do you have Borges on your list?
Surely you’ve read Heart of Darkness. How about Witold Gombrowicz instead, as the rep for Poland?
Thanks, Scavella! I definitely needed more Caribbean authors.
Harry, I think I’m revealing my inner, okay not-so-inner geek.
Adam, I haven’t really even looked at Central and South America yet. I’m starting with Africa. And yes, Conrad is on the map already.
I think I may have miscommunicated. I saw Heart of Darkness on the list, is the list not shiny new books?
I’m not specifically targeting new books, no. I’m just (slowly) populating the list with books I’ve read and books I want to read. If I run across an appealing author for a country I already have covered, I put them on the list as well, but my goal is just to cover all countries, no matter when I read the book.
