What a great challenge to find Indonesian short stories that have been translated to English. I'm surprised that you even found one!meehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00328641316798271079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023956444265128672.post-19643534219282175982010-07-22T16:28:53.298+08:002010-07-22T16:28:53.298+08:00Congratulations!

You have an interesting post here about your ongoing and upcoming reading projects. :) But I'm most interested in the project regarding Malaysian literature.<br /><br />Being a born Malaysian, I'm quite ashamed to say that I have not read many books by local authors! The only ones I've read (and they are short stories) were by Chuah Guat Eng, Karim Raslan and Robert Raymer. Have you heard of them? They're fantastic. Their books were discussed for my English class in uni.<br /><br />This year I definitely hope to include more Malaysian lit into my reading. I also plan to write up a post soon about a voting contest, held by a bookstore here, for favourite local authors.Josettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16398849417612962089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023956444265128672.post-17851210045097706132010-07-21T13:31:45.110+08:002010-07-21T13:31:45.110+08:00I admire your ability to plan ahead for the next y...I admire your ability to plan ahead for the next year. I'm sure you will exceed your goals for all challenges and projects (as you've done in the past). Again, congratulations on a very successful first year of book blogging. During my first year of book blogging, I was more or less unknown. This was before I realized the importance of reaching out to other book bloggers and readers.Sukohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11893742747135555499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023956444265128672.post-86841481676012699832010-07-21T11:05:29.280+08:002010-07-21T11:05:29.280+08:00Wonderful plans.

I have several of her books on the agenda this year, although the year is halfway over and I think I've over extended myself in the reading challenge department. I just started my blog last August and when I found out about all the reading challenges, I was like a kid in a candy store...LOL! <br /><br />I look forward to hearing about what you've read over the next year.Michelle Stockard Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03572227726980569386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023956444265128672.post-11368111584178987172010-07-21T09:37:37.729+08:002010-07-21T09:37:37.729+08:00Great planning.

I try to make every second book I read an Australian one, but I I haven't really focussed on the bush writers at all. I will look forward to reading your posts. This post has made me want to start my own reading projects. I would love to read everything written by Isabel Allende and Margaret Atwood. Maybe that will be my project?<br /><br />Anyway, I am looking forward to another year of the reading lifeRebecca Chapmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14144719070318640603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023956444265128672.post-80641150000374658922010-07-21T09:22:29.303+08:002010-07-21T09:22:29.303+08:00thank you for meantioning my project here :) and r...thank you for meantioning my project here :) and receiving such a warm enthusiasm from you is a bliss.<br /><br />I'm looking forward for your post.Novrozhttp://bokunosekai.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023956444265128672.post-74158349828769708712010-07-21T08:58:00.144+08:002010-07-21T08:58:00.144+08:00This all sounds fantastic.
