Ireland, Sweden, Israel, United States, Iran
Otherwise I am open to almost any recommendation. Something covering a non-visited country (author origin) and non-read genre.
Belgian Space Opera?
Gambian Steampunk? (does that even exist?)
Polish Science Fiction? (actually Stanislaw Lem is a potential)
Russian Chick-Lit?
South Korean Non-Fiction?
I know I'm going to read more than one book from United Kingdom and the United States because genre fiction is going to force that and it needs to be in English or translated to because I am not a multi-lingual person.

Try
The Leopard's Daughter by Lee Killough. The author is American but the setting is Africa.
Oleg Gordievsky is a former KGB double agent. I have read his autobiography,
Next Stop Execution which is a good book, but not fast.
Heart Collector is a French crime novel by Jacques Vandroux. Again, not quick, but it would definitely give you that country.
Thomas Olde Heuvelt is a Dutch author whose short
The Ink Readers of Doi Saket is a good short read.
