I am trying to read books from different, non-English speaking countries. Any recommendations are welcome (provided that they are available in English).
So far:
Afghanistan: Kite Runner and 1000 Splendid Suns
Canada: Handmaid's Tale and Oryx and Crake triology by Atwood; Life of Pi by Martel
Chile: The House of the Spirits by Allende
Colombia: One Hundred Years of Solitude and Love in the Time of Cholera by Marquez
India: A Suitable Boy and White Tiger (among others)
Italy: The Name of the Rose by Eco
Japan: Kafka on the Shore and Norwegian Wood by Murakami (would like to try a different author as well)
New Zealand: The Luminaries by Catton
Portugal: Blindness by Saramago
Russia: The usual classics so I think that is covered
South Africa: Summertime by Coettzee
Turkey: My Name is Red and Snow by Pamuk and Rose of Sarajevo by Kulin
