The Armchair Traveler – Challenge List
A day late, but I’m still in. 
The Impressionist, Hari Kunzru (India, Britain, etc.)
The Black Dahlia, James Ellroy (Los Angeles)
The Far Side of the World (Aubrey/Maturin novel), Patrick O’Brian (Malta, Atlantic Ocean, South America)
Your Blues Ain’t Like Mine, Bebe Moore Campbell (Mississippi)
The Diamond Age, Neal Stephenson (future-Shanghai, China)
The Reader, Bernhard Schlink (Germany)
I’ve repeated one book from my Reading Through the Decades Challenge List: James Ellroy’s The Black Dahlia. Surprisingly, I can’t remember any American book I’ve read that’s even set in Los Angeles. Most of them are set in New York, or some obscure small town. Ha! I’ve read a few pages of the Kunzru, and am very optimistic about it.
