Is this the most chatty character in all of literature? I'm impressed by her flow. Also, her eagerness is infectious 🥰

My goal for 2026 is to read at least one book a month from Irish authors. I'm currently brainstorming that tbr, what culturally relevant or famous books would I like to read/reread etc

But it got me thinking, slightly inspired by challenges like "reading around the world" - what are some famous/cultural classics from other countries? And who better to ask than PB users!

So,

• What is a famous classic/older book from your country?
• What is a culturally relevant book from your country?
• Maybe a book/author that is well-known in your country, but not internationally known?
• What's a book you had to study in school from your country?
• What's a "modern" famous book?

It can either be by an author from there, set in the country, or both! Or even just one of your favs

And if you're from somewhere #Big like the United States I've a bigger challenge - answer these but for your state/region!

• feel free to answer based on your identity/ethnicity too :)

I'll be adding an international read each month to my 2026 tbr, so choose well ;)
