Voice of the World

Books are a great way to travel the world, and it's much cheaper and time efficient than physically departing on a voyage. Countless cultures and subcultures exist today. Alas, a single lifetime is simply not enough time to see them all. But read enough and perhaps you will get one of the best multicultural experiences anyone could ever dream of. It is a delight to listen to such well traveled readers, for they have the voice of the world.

Add books you've read that helped you discover and learn more about modern (last 100 years) real world societies, countries or cultures (the books may be fiction or nonfiction).
