Don Quijote de la Mancha
Considered the greatest literary work in Spanish, and a classic in any language, it is shocking that you don't have it yet! "A book of universal humor, enjoyed by readers of all ages."

North and South, ElIzabeth Gaskell
A fantastic book about different societies, classes and cultures in newly industrialised England with predjudices, assumptions and ultimately love. Not one to miss. On par with Pride and Predjudice.
