Thanks Elpida. Zorba the Greek has been on my radar for a long time and might be the selection from Greece, but my library doesn't have it in eBook and the cost is atrocious ($14).
I've found a lot of Northern and Eastern Africa has very interesting books that are untranslated from French. It's been a serious downer for Western Africa. I dropped French in Grade 11 for Calculus. The Scents of Marie-Claire sounds good, but not available from my library in e-book form.
Trawling my library I found the following options available as eBooks:
Turkey - Orhan Pamuk - The Museum of Innocence
Italy - Umberto Eco - The Prague Cemetary, The Name of the Rose
My $20 monthly budget for books doesn't go very far with this challenge. I suppose it's just part of the fun. How to read the world for less than $20CDN a month. I wish the library added more variety than Romance as eBooks, but I understand they stock what the majority of patrons want. Of the last twelve added eBooks, eleven are Romance and one is Ernest Hemingway.
Time to give the library some suggestions I think.
