I'm learning Japanese, and I often wish I could find literature in that language that's both slightly above my level and something I want to read. It's really hard. But part of the problem is that finding things I want to read in my native language is hard, too, so I'm probably just too picky. I've tried to learn Esperanto and the complete lack of entertaining books that aren't translations from another language is depressing. I just couldn't get anywhere with it because of that.
