Interesting chart. I've read mostly children's books. I noticed that the South Pacific isn't really covered.
I would have expected Isabel Allende's Tge House of the Spirits for Chile. And maybe Kristen Lavrasdatter for Norway.
And I agree with you about Tolkien, though they do use his name to drum up tourism in the Amatola Mountains. I'd have suggested either Cry, the Beloved Country by Alan Paton or Nelson Mandela's Long Walk Home.
