This is another memoir of the civil rights era, and I don't know whether it was the writing style or the fact that this one didn't concentrate on guns as the be-all-end-all, but I enjoyed this one a lot more than the last one. - The Discreet Hero, +Mario Vargas Llosa (Peru)
- +Embers, Sandor Marai (Hungary)
- The Automobile Club of Egypt, +Alaa Al Aswany (Egypt)
- The Ballad of Black Tom, Victor LaValle
- The House of Daniel, Harry Turtledove
- Haiti Noir 2, ed. Edwidge Danticat (Haiti)
Not technically from the Reading the World list but I found it by searching the library for one of the authors on my list, and it's all stories by Haitian authors, so I think it qualifies.
