Biblioteca Argentina
The city of Buenos Aires asked 35 Argentine authors to mention their 10 favorite books. Authors include Roberto Fontanarrosa, Rodolfo Fogwill and Angelica Gorodischer. This list includes all books with more than one vote, ordered by total votes. Since 2016 the website is no longer maintained by the government, but can be accessed via Waybackmachine. The government has been promising to categorize all their audiovisual content related to literature and make it freely available, but it doesn't seem to be a priority.
