From English to French: the Discworld series, translated by Patrick Couton. They're what made me want to become a translator in the first place.

From Tamil to English, Women Dreaming by Salma. From Chinese to English, Strange Beasts of China. Pretty much all of Tilted Axis Press's works, actually, and Charco Press for LATAM has some wonderful stuff too.
