Hi, am intrigued by your list. what countries do these authors represent? Reason I ask is that I have created a challenge for myself of reading authors from countries connected by the Equator and the Prime Meridian. some will be easy enough – like France, USA but I think I’ll struggle with the African nations so am looking round for ideas and recommendations.

fantastic!
actually I have a better list on my blog, with an author per country I read this year:
I did this 52 countries challenge in 2012:https://wordsandpeace.com/2012/01/04/around-the-world-in-52-books/ not all listed yet!], and it was such a wonderful experience, even though I only managed to read 40/52 [out of the 106 books I read].
the best resource could be a blogger I follow: A Year of Reading the World: http://ayearofreadingtheworld.com/thelist/
check also the 52 countries goodreads Group, you will see lots of lists:
http://www.goodreads.com/group/show/53809-around-the-world-in-52-books
Jenny, one of the moderator, has a great shelf:

her website is: http://readingenvy.blogspot.com/
you could also check this:
http://www.bookbrowse.com/blogs/editor/index.cfm/2010/11/3/Kims-Around-the-World-in-80-Books-Reading-List
click on the 2nd link, 2nd line, where it says her reading list. it is an excel file, so you can rearrange the chart by alphabetical list for the countries.
I hope with all these combined, you will find help.
enjoy your trip!
