I have been a silent participator for the last two years (succesfully!) so I think it's at the time to officially take part. I'll challenge myself to a leisurely 52 books which will hopefully give me the time to read some longer works. Also, I will tackle Stravinskys challenge but I'll take it as suggestions and will not stress myself over it:
Poetry will be a difficult one. Generally I find it pretty difficult to read poetry even moreso in English (while there is little native German poetry that interests me). Perhaps something by Sherman Alexie? I recently read his short stories and they were great. I can't remember when I read the last play but I have been meaning to read Spirits of Another Sort: The Plays of Izumi Kyoka for a while. Alternatively I tried to find the TV adaption of Accidental Death of an Anarchist for a long time and might just read the play itself. Although The Blind Owl is great, I have recently read it and will therefore skip it.
I take by banned or censored you mean banned or censored in its home country? I will not read some holocaust deniers musings... Also, I only found a childrens book by Stephan J. Myers named The Colour Red, you mean something else right?

Right now I'm reading Open Veins of Latin America by Eduardo Galeano and will probably finish it today. Makes you pretty angry.
