Several years ago, writer Ann Morgan noticed that she didn’t read much literature from countries outside of the United Kingdom and United States — and had yet to dive into stories from around the globe. From this realization, her blog, A Year of Reading the World, was born. You can read about Ann’s journey in her new book, Reading the World: Confessions of a Literary Explorer, available now in the UK. (The US version, The World Between Two Covers, will be released on May 4.)

Also, we highly recommend this fantastic podcast episode in which Daniel Herbruger interviews Ann. 

Are there any rules here, anyway?
Just a few: 
  1. Upload a summary of each bock you've read
  2. Along the project, read and comment on other people's summaries as well 
  3. After having read a certain amount of books, write a general debrief of all the lessons learned after having traveled the world, without even taking a plane
