Good question! I have to say that I’m a Canadian with a love for American work. Feel free to look over my full response and browse my blog at http://coffeetalereviews.blogspot.com/
Good question, I look forward to seeing everyone else’s response (and getting ideas)!
Here’s mine
Okay too early for this one, finally! Anyway here’s my BTT for this week.

That’s an easy one for me … almost all of my books come from another country. LOL.
Just to name one series here. Harry Potter.
Fun question. Should be some good answers to this one. Here’s mine:

I don’t really read many foreign books actually. I like wine from Germany… but I don’t know about their literature.
If anyone’s interested I started a new meme today called What Were They Thinking? Over at The Crowded Leaf. Stop on by!

While several came to mind. One definitely stood out. My list is Here
Don’t have time to post today. I won’t count all the British, Australian, Canadian, etc. literature I have. So other languages would have to be Gabriel Garcia Marquez, but that’s probably everyone’s favorite. Well, other than the Russians…
I like a lot of foreign authors. I try to cut down my list of books

Sad to say, in my case, it’s the opposite. I can barely name a book from my country that I like, but I can give you at least twenty books that are from another country that I keep coming back to.

Hmm. A topic I hope to expound on.
Loved this weeks question! Find out my answer here

I’m not going to include books from predominantly English-speaking places, since that feels like cheating.
Two come to mind.
