Country surrounding Reading? Certainly not! (6)
I believe the answer is:
norway
'country' is the definition.
(Norway is an example)
'surrounding reading? certainly not' is the wordplay.
'surrounding' is an insertion indicator.
'reading?' becomes 'r' (one of the traditional three R's of education).
'certainly not' becomes 'no way' (both are emphatically negative answers).
'r' inserted inside 'noway' is 'NORWAY'.
(Other definitions for norway that I've seen before include "Ray won (anag)" , "Country of fjords" , "Any row in this strange country?" , "Now, Ray, go to the country" , "Edvard Munch's homeland" .)
