I love learning about other cultures through fiction written around the world. Suggest me your favorite book that's been translated to English!
A few I liked are:
– Drive your Plow Over The Bones of the Dead (Polish)
– The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (Swedish)
– The Heartbeat Library (Japanese)
– The Traveling Cat Chronicals (Japanese)
Not picky about genre, but no non-fiction.
