I simply can't resist this challenge, mainly because I know a lot of the books I have listed for other challenges are translations, so I'll definitely be successful. I'm going to sign up for the Linguist level of 10 - 12 books, and I'll keep track of the books I read in this post as I go along. Should be a fun challenge, thanks so much to The Introverted Reader for hosting it!
One note: I read the books listed in their English-language translations unless otherwise noted.
