In an attempt to read books from as many countries as possible, i compiled a little list... ❤️

A list dedicated to nuclear energy, nuclear disasters, the Atomic Age, and radiation. Mostly non-fiction, but I decided to include some fiction as well.

Books that explore the history of the USSR, its origins, its triumphs, the people it oppressed, and its collapse. (Includes fiction books based on real-life Soviet experiences)

Nonfiction (mostly 😺) that read like fiction

zone: an area or stretch of land having a particular characteristic, purpose, or use, or subject to particular restrictions. A place outside of the 'normal' realm, where the rules are totally different, where it is difficult or impossible to make sense of what the Zone is about. The Zone can be physical or mental. It can exist in reality or in fiction. It cannot really be defined, yet it exists. They are everywhere, and they are different things to different people. What's the Zone to you?

Enjoy my newest lit series, ‘Reading the World’, in an attempt to diversify your own reading and broaden horizons, I have included a mix of genres. Sensitive topics often lie ahead as history, social and political issues are usually the centre of this writing. Enjoy!

Get your brain juices flowing.

I own too many books
