Around the world in 365 days

One of my aims in 2010 was to further internationalize my reading. Below are all my reviews organized by the country in which they were set (not by the nationality of the author). I managed to get a decent spread of reading, visiting 21 countries (more if you count the 5 books set in multiple locations). The USA, however, was still the country that dominated my reading, with 37 of the stories set there. Still, at least I did a bit of travelling.

The split was:
37: USA
7: Ireland
5: Australia, Italy
4: France, Scotland
3: England (a bit of a surprise this one)
2: Iceland, Palestine, Brazil
1: South Africa, Botswana, Laos, Argentina, Sweden, Thailand, Poland, Spain, Cuba, Malta, Japan

1 book was fantasy, 5 were set in more than one country, and 13 were non-fiction.
