Two books in Spanish:
Huasipungo by Jorge Icaza, a heartbreaking novel about the despicable and terrible European Colonization and genocide of the indigenous peoples of the Americas, taking place in Ecuador.
María by Jorge Isaacs, though I've decided to stop reading this kind of romantic/tragic novels since it contributed to my betaness, it makes for a great read partly because it gives a historic perspective on Colombia, besides the plot and style of language.
