2016 Reading Challenge

Hello, everyone! As I've already told you, I've prepared a new Reading Challenge for 2016, in order to diversify my reading even more. You are all invited to participate. 

So, in 2016 read:

1. a novel from Europe: Utopia, by Thomas More
2. a novel from Middle-East
3. a novel from East Asia: Ico: Castle in the Mist, by Miyuki Miyabe
4. a novel from North America: 11/22/63, by Stephen King
5. a novel from South America: Like Water for Chocolate, by Laura Esquivel
6. a novel from Oceania: The Hanging Garden, by Patrick White
7. a novel from Africa
8. a superhero comic: Deadpool v Gambit, by Ben Acker, Ben Blacker, Danilo Beyruth, and Kevin Wada
9. a non-superhero comic: Paper Girls, by Brian K. Vaughan and Cliff Chiang
10. a collection of poetry: A Guide Through A Woman's Mind: Women, It's Time to Say What You Mean... and Mean What You Say, by Rea Unique 
11. a play: Arcadia, by Tom Stoppard
12. a classic: Utopia, by Thomas More
13. a non-fiction book: The View from the Cheap Seats, by Neil Gaiman
14. a biography/memoir
15. a collection of fairytales/folklore: Fairy Tales, by Hans Christian Andersen
16. the last book of a series
17. a manga: Orange, by Ichigo Takano
18. a fan-fiction novel: Mr. Darcy, Vampyre, by Amanda Grange
19. a short-story collection: The Year of the Stolen Bicycle Tires and Other Stories, by Andrew Kozma
20. a novel written by a Nobel Prize recipient: As I Lay Dying, by William Faulkner
21. a novel that won the Man Booker Prize
22. a self-published book: The Boston Ranter: Slanted Vignettes from a Native New Englander, by Layden Robinson

This is basically it. It's an all-year-long challenge, so I believe that it's quite manageable. First of all, I wanted to read books from different regions, that's why the books from 1-6 must be from different parts of the world. The genre doesn't really matter, it can be whatever. The books also can be adult, or young adult, or even middle grade, there is no restriction. Every time I read something of one of the above categories, I'll add it to this post.

Happy Reading!
