Funny you saying this, OP, because last week a friend of mine asked me: "What do you think about Tolstoy, bro? I've just finished reading Anna Karenina and I think it's one of the best novels of all time". I said "Even though I'm quadrilingual (English, French, German and Spanish), I do not speak Russian, therefore I've not read Tolstoy. Only stupid people read translations. I'll never read Dante, Pessoa, Blecher, Tolstoy, Schulz, Hrabal, Kosztolányi, Ōe, Hikmet, Petronius, Plato and the Bible until I learn Italian, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Polish, Czech, Hungarian, Japanese, Turkish, Latin, Greek, biblical Hebrew and biblical Aramaic. So, no, you haven't read Tolstoy's Anna Karenina. You read a P&V's retelling of Anna Karerina, you fucking pleb. And a P&V's retelling of Anna Karerina will never be one of the best novels of all time.

>mfw I bought Beckett's l'Innommable first edition
>A1 ass in French

I have a Cervantes book printed in the 60s that's in Spanish. So I can't read it.

How is this funny? Funny how?

Because the picture suggests that the OP -- in his helplessness and desire to live up to the meme standard of this place -- was surprised that an untranslated work of a foreign writer is unreadable because he doesn't understand the language.

Just look at the words. Observe the beautiful prose.
