Off the top of my head:
I've been using The Little Prince in my language studies, because it's a great book but simple, and I know it well. I can get through it no problem in French, but it's still a little over my head in Vietnamese.
Yeah, I've had a lot of fun trying to read it in several different languages. The best is definitely French.
My french is not quite up to serious lit, but almost. The only thing I've read in french that was actually not available in english is some sci-fi by Stefan Wul. He wrote a bunch of books, but only a couple have been translated.
