Challenge Post! A Book for Every Country [ONGOING]

There's no way this gets done in a year - I'll be delighted if I finish in 5 years - but I think it's a worthy endeavor, and a valid way to experience diversity in my fiction. I'll post tentative titles, and replace them as needed if the book is simply not available or a different one pops up.
General Rules: if I already coincidentally read something from a country, I don't have to find another book. Books must be legally available in English translation (there are some countries where you could count the translated books on one hand). I'll italicize completed rows/books.
I'll post a rating out of 5. 5 = terrific, 4 = I would be willing to read it again, 3 = worth one read, 2 = I begrudge the time I spent on this, 1 = as once said, "This is not a book to be tossed aside lightly; it should be thrown with great force".

CURRENT PROGRESS: 18/197
