Sounds romantic. As an undergrad I set out to read Dante's Divine Comedy in Italian one summer. What could be a better use of a summer -- and I'd learn Italian at the same time. To this day I still haven't read it, nor do I know Italian.
And oddly it does please me to know that there are people reading poetry simply for pleasure.

I'm translating one of my favorite Jules Verne novels from French to English using vim and google translate (http://voyagesextraordinaires.tumblr.com/ http://voyagesextraordinaires.tumblr.com/ if anyone cares). The machine does a fairly crap translation and I then puzzle over the French until I figure out what it means.
