Around the Year in 52 Books discussion

I'm challenging myself to read a minimum of 30 Nobel Laureates in whatever time frame it takes me, hopefully no more than 5 years! I've selected 38 from 23 different countries, through 2023, that I am interested in. As new ones are announced, I will add them to the list. Some of the authors I've read previously but I am starting fresh on Sept 1, 2024
