Whatever the language it's written in, a good book is a good book.  I've been expanding my reading horizons lately, trying new authors and enjoying some refreshingly novel perspectives.  So, here's a list of 10 of my favorite foreign fiction reads:

1. The Flanders Panel by Arturo Perez-Reverte (Spanish)
2. My Name is Red by Orhan Pamuk (Turkish)
3. The Angel's Game by Carlos Ruiz Zafon (Spanish)
4. An Uncertain Place by Fred Vargas (French)
5. The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson (Swedish)
6. The Quiet Girl by Peter Hoeg (Danish)
7. Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami (Japanese)
8. The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco (Italian)
9. The Darkest Room by Johan Theorin (Swedish)
10. Codex 632 by Jose Rodrigues dos Santos (Portuguese)

There's my list.  What are your favorite foreign fiction novels?
