1.Pride and Prejudice ~ Jane Austen
2.Neverwhere ~ Neil Gaiman
3.The Lord of the Rings ~ J.R.R. Tolkein
4.The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy ~ Douglas Adams
5.Harry Potter ~ J.K. Rowling


This is difficult because I'm not sure about nationality on a lot of my favorite books. These were just off the top of my head.
