The World Between Two Covers: Reading the Globe

I'm glad I found this book at the library. I was all gung ho to buy it at B&N. Glad I didn't, as it honestly isn't my kind of book. Ann Morgan explores all the philosophical reasons behind why she decided to read a book from each country of the world...how many countries are there?...what is a country, really?...how do you choose something representative from each place? I wasn't terribly interested in all that discourse; I kept waiting to hear about the books she chose and read. And the books she chose and read was pretty much confined to a list of twenty pages in the back. Quite disappointing, really.
