I agree with you HIMS, and the other difficulty we have had, e.g. with our last Region month, was being able to find books by authors from the area. I suppose one way round this problem would be to allow books set in the area but by authors from other cultures, such as Somerset Maugham for example. I have just had a look at the Regions still to be selected: the South Pacific could well be rather a challenge, as might Korean Peninsula, Mongolia and China.
The Time Periods are narrowing in choice too: BCE to 1500, 1501 to 1800, 1921 to 1940 and 1941 to 1960. So we might select the two 20th century period in the next couple of goes, but then I suspect we might want to leave the earlier periods.
Still, I expect we shall work out our preferred topics when we vote on them.
