I love reading books in their native language, especially when there is no translation available. It's like having a key to an exclusive world that others can't access. It is, however, quite a bit of work to learn a new language simply to be able to read works in that language and I'm not sure if it provides much value aside from a smug sense of being educated and multilingual.

I’ve been struggling to learn Russian for a while now, and listening to Brothers Karamazov in the native language is fascinating in a way I can’t describe. I consistently feel like I’m being put under a spell.
