Apart from a few Indian novels and the Australian and South African book, my literature collection consisted of British and American titles. Worse still, I hardly ever read anything in translation. My reading was limited to stories by English-speaking authors.So, at the start of 2012, I set myself the challenge of trying to read a book from every country in a year to find out what I was missing. As I was unlikely to find publications from nearly 200 nations on the shelves of my local bookshop, I decided to ask the planets readers for help. I created a blog called A Year of Reading the World and put out an appeal for suggestions of titles that I could read in English.The response was amazing. Before I knew it, people all over the planet were getting in touch with ideas and offers of help. Some posted me books from their home countries. Others did hours of research on my behalf. In addition, several writers sent me unpublished translations of their novels, giving me a rare opportunity to read works otherwise unavailable to the 62% of the British who only speak English. Even so, selecting books was no easy task. With translations making up only around 4.5 percent of literary works published in the UK and Ireland, getting English versions (版本)of stories was difficult.But the effort was worth it. I found I was visiting the mental space of the storytellers. These stories not only opened my mind to the real life in other places, but opened my heart to the way people there might feel.And that in turn changed my thinking. Through reading the stories shared with me by bookish strangers around the globe, I realised I was not alone, but part of a network that spread all over the planet. 1.

Peoplehave generally viewed personal growth as an external(外部的）result or product that can easily beidentified and measured. The worker who gets a promotion, the student whose grades improve, theforeigner who learns a new language-all these are examples of people who have measurableresults to show for their efforts By contrast, the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine, since bydefinition it is a journey and not the specific signposts or landmarks along the way. The process isnot the road itself, but rather the attitudes and feelings people have, their caution or courage, asthey go through new experiences and unexpected obstacles. In this process, the journey neverreally ends; there are always new ways to experience the world, new ideas to try, new challengesto accept. In order to grow, to travel new roads, people need to have a willingness to take risks, to befaced with the unknown, and to accept the possibility that they may fail at fist. How we seeourselves as we try a new way of being is essential to our ability to grow. These feelings of insecurity and self-doubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are tochange and grow. If we do not face and overcome these internal fears and doubts, if we protectourselves too much, then we cease to grow. We become trapped inside a shell of our own making43.
