Also, in terms of books written outside YOUR country, I recommend "The ZigZag Kid" by David Grossman. Highly recommend, even.

There are a number of ways this question could be read. I think I'll answer it in the sense of 'favorite book with the most foreign plot', since others have already remarked 'Lord of the Rings' which is geographically but not culturally foreign, to me at least.
So for me right now I think it would be Shalimar the Clown by Salman Rushdie. Though he is quite Western, in that story Rushdie involves multiple plots and characters that are extremely foreign to me.

In my case the question is better made as "which are the local Brazilian authors you read" because I mostly read foreign authors :-)
I like Guimaraes Rosa, Braulio Tavares, Lima Barreto, Flavio Medeiros, Carlos Drummond de Andrade ( the only poetry I really really like in any language ).

I like Siddhartha as someone else mentioned. I also enjoyed la Dama del Alba (if you read Spanish) and O Guarani (in Portuguese)
