This is what I can remember from the last couple of years. I'm sure I've read more stuff, but sometimes we get things here ten years later, so I'm not sure when they were originally published and I'm too lazy to check

The Map and the Territory (Houllebecq)
True History of the Kelly Gang (Peter Carey)
Al este de Occidente / East of the west (Miroslav Penkov) short-stories, really enjoyed it.
Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell (Susanna Clarke)
The roving shadows (Pascal Quignard)
Distancia de rescate / Fever Dream (Samanta Schweblin)
The Yiddish Policemen's Union and Kavalier & Clay (Chabon)

Not sure if there are translations for this ones:
El viento que arrasa (Selva Almada)
Un episodio en la vida del pintor viajero (Cesar Aira, I know there are quite a few books of him translated into english, I highly recommend him)

I'll be making some comments on graphic novels in the proper thread, later or during the weekend.
