Never read any of those type of books. Lord of the rings, Harry Potter never attracted me 
Dec 15, 2019¡1 replyKFAYeah I'm Dutch. Definitely agree that translated poetry is inferior. I also think this is the case with every translated book/novel. With translated literature you're reading the writer through a translator, you're never reading the 'real' thing. So I mostly read Dutch literature with a few exceptions. Houellebecq for example and Russian Literature. Of course every now and then I read a translated book, but it loses some beauty for me
Have you read serotonin? I liked it but I only got into houelbecq recently reading submission rn
Dec 16, 2019¡edited¡2 repliesI don't read s***, last book I read was Donuts by Jordan Ferguson like 4 years ago. I tried Hitch 22 but I just wasn't feeling his style of writing at all.
My gf who's insane about literature got me Fyodor Dostoevsky's The Idiot for christmas so I couldn't not try it.. 60 pages in atm and I was hooked from the first few!! It's like i'm watching a movie
it's fun, funny and suprisingly easy to read, I was expecting something a lot harder as the only other centries-old book I read was The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli when I was young, because 2Pac read it ofc lol. I'm told it gets difficult as it goes on in regards to the characters though.She read it only in italian but she told me she done a lot of research when looking for an english translation, she's a linguist and was saying how much easier translating russian to italian is. She decided on this Alan Myers translation, "oxford world's classics" edition, and I love it so much so far.
