With regard to reading English language classics, I'm extremely "underread", but I have read stuff that quite some people don't know of or don't consider classics, but are considered classics in other countries.
Think about Musashi (Yuoshikawa, Japan), The Go Master (Kawabata, Japan/China), Max Havelaar (Multatuli, Netherlands), De Stille Kracht (Couperus, Netherlands).... I could go on for some time.
