Regional Reading

I'm interested in the idea of consciously choosing reading based on what part of the world it's from. It's an idea I've run into in two different ways recently.

One was here with the Reading Across Borders Challenge. The idea is to look at your reading and see what regions you tend to stick to in your books. Then, pick some other parts of the world and start exploring.

The other was somewhere else that I've forgotten now. That person was making a list of books to read by authors from her state (in the U.S.) and bordering states - to see her part of the world through others' eyes.

I think both ideas could be interesting projects. I probably am not going to do either one right now, but I still like the concepts.
