I've personally been very into Japanese literature recently. I recommend "Bushido, The Soul of Japan" by Inazo Nitobe, "The Book of 5 Rings" by Miyamoto Musashi, or "No Longer Human" by Osamu Dazai. Anything by Franz Kafka is also a viable option.

I could reccomend some books from my country, Spain. If you want classic litterature persé, I recommend "The Quixote" by Miguel de Cervantes or "The life of Lazarillo de Tormes" by an anonymous person.

If on the other had, you want more modern stuff, I could easily recommend "Tears of Shiva" by Cesar Mallorquí. Sadly this one doesn't have an official translation to the english language.
