18．I used to think of myself as a person learned in books，but my bookshelves told a different story．Apart from a few Indian novels and an Australian book，my literature collection only consisted of British and American titles．Worse still，I couldn't ever found anything in translation．My reading was limited to stories by English-speaking authors．
So，at the start of 2012，I set myself the challenge of trying to read a book from every country in a year to find out what I was missing．
With no idea where to get those books，I was unlikely to find publications from nearly 200nations on the shelves of my local bookshop，so I decided to ask the readers all over the world for help．I created a blog called A Year of Reading the World and put out an appeal for suggestions of titles that I could read in English．
The response was amazing．People all over the world were getting in touch with me，offering ideas and book lists．Some posted me books from their home countries．In addition，several writers，like Turkmenistan's Ak Welsapar and Panama's Juan David Morgan，sent me unpublished translations of their novels，giving me a rare opportunity to read works unavailable in Britain．Even with such an extraordinary team of bibliophiles（爱书者） behind me，however，sourcing books was no easy task．With translations making up only around 4.5per cent of literary works published in the UK，getting English versions of stories was tricky．
One by one，the books from the countries on the list filled my heart with laughter，love，anger，hope and fear．Lands that had once seemed exotic and remote became close and familiar to me．At its best，I learned，reading makes the world real．
