Although I don't speak a word of anything but English (no, really! ), I was wondering if people thought it would be a good idea to try to make a concerted effort to post some titles that might be of particular interest to read in the language it was written in. Would this be a waste of time or not? In particular, I would not want to make matters worse by posting unreadable garbage. If it's worth trying, does someone have some suggestions for some authors and titles we're missing that would be good to start with?
Umm... French: Jules Verne (Mtravellerh is doing them, I think), Dumas (I did two "musketeers", still have to read the third, and there are a lot more), Balzac, Victor Hugo, Leroux (I did one, have more pending)...

Italian: Emilio Salgari.

Spanish: Don Quixote (I'm getting Doré's illustrations, I might do the book some day), Galdós (I did some, there are many more), Clarín...
