I'm usually quite conscious whether a book is translated or not. It's rather important for me to know. I saw that you tagged me! I'll think about what to post :) For this challenge I deliberately looked for translated works that could be combined with other challenges, in this case Japanese Literature and 1001 Books Challenge.

I rather think that sometimes, I read books that have been translated and don't even know it! In saying that, a lot of the time I really just don't quite notice, or go out of my way to read translated books. If the title captures me, so be it! Anyway, just thought I'd let you know that I tagged you for a meme. Hope you join! .-= [Michelle (su[shu])´s last blog: <a href="http://sushu.blog.com/2010/01/06/honest-scrap-meme/" rel="nofollow">Honest Scrap Meme</a>] =-.

With the Italians it felt like out of my comfort zone. I should read more translated works from another language/culture, though I'm not sure if it's gonna be this year.
