I might get in trouble with the series police here, but I thought I'd throw out a Polish fantasy nomination.
My nomination is The Last Wish by Andrzej Sapkowski. Now, this is the first book chronologically and (I believe) the first released in English translation. However, it was not the first published in Polish. It's really a collection of short stories as I understand it - introducing the legend of Geralt, the Witcher. This series seems to have been a big sensation in Poland and it spawned a pretty well-known computer game and a Polish TV series. I know far less about it than I'm making out, but I wouldn't mind rectifying that. Anyway - here's the blurb: Quote:

That one's already been a book of the month, and besides that...
Sorry, but we've already got 10 nominations. |

Ah - that's fine. I was nominating mainly to get to 10, so no damage done.

Actually, American English and British English are both English. Just different because of the way the two countries developed. They both started off with the same English. Even Australian English is a form of English. None of them is wrong. None of them is not correct English. So if you are going to say American English, then please also say British English as what is spoken in America is just as valid as what's spoken in Britain.

Thank you for the nomination even if it was a little too late - it looks like it is available at my library, so I will check it out some time.
