Ann Morgan: My year reading a book from every country in the world (Video)

This TED talk is right up my alley.

Amid a multitude of English and American authors, there were very few books from beyond the English-speaking world.

Now she's urging other Anglophiles to read translated works so that publishers will work harder to bring foreign literary gems back to their shores.
