So, after going through the Great American Read, I realized many of the authors aren't American. And I wondered about doing a book meme in which you list anywhere from 10-100 books written by authors from the country that you currently reside in. For example if you reside in Australia, you would only list 50 -100 books written by Australian authors that you would recommend. Or say, Germany, you'd only list books written by German authors. Sweden? Only books written by Swedish authors. Nigeria? Nigerian authors. India? Indian authors. Great Britain -- only British Authors. Etc.

Rules?

1.) List 10-100 books that you would recommend people read (they can be favorites, genre, literary, comic books, web comics, anything -- as long as you have to read them).
2.) Books have to be written by authors who are citizens of the country that you reside in or are a citizen of currently -- your home country. (For instance don't list Americanha by Ngozi -- unless you happen to be Nigerian and living in Nigeria.) If American? They have to be American writers. If German, German writers. Etc. If Canadian? Canadian authors. Don't list anything by Margaret Atwood unless you are Canadian.
3.) Comment if you wish on each explaining why you would recommend them, but not necessary.

I was born in the United States, approximately fifth or sixth generation American. Below is my list of the Books Written by American Writers that I'd recommend. I chose these novels because I found them memorable.

I did 70. I couldn't think of any more. I'm sure I've read more, but my mind blanked. If you wish to add to the list above, do so in the comments.
