No, but I am learning his. Notes from Underground is a must read for all men

I learnt Spanish to read early 20th Century Filipino Literature.

I was going to learn Finnish but changed mind last minute because not enough funny and poetic Finnish people exist

There is no good Finnish literature

There's some but very little. Kivi was the biggest mistake in Finnish history. Ahlqvist was right.

Despite weeabos and their obession with anime, I've always wanted to learn japanese for their literature, cinema, and other items of artistic value

>Notes from Underground is a must read

Russian literature is boring and repetitive, 90% of it is describing ordinary everyday stuff over and over again, you can learn more from a single sentence written by the German and Anglo literary giants that the entire corpus of tolstoy and dostoyevsky

No Sovl from a made up country.

Who could have guessed?

>learn japanese for their literature
Like what lol, they have nothing

People who say stuff like this are the most insufferable of the whole Weeabo bunch. Newsflash buddy, bashing "anime" in an effort to highlight other aspects of Japanese culture doesn't make you special - there are many like you, and you all appear infantile. The sooner you drop the pretense the easier your journey into the Japanese language gets.

Yes. Russian but the language is too difficult for me to put any effort in it.
Besides, I think learning a fifth language is a stretch.

I can read russian, theoretically what would be a good russian book to read?

I've always wanted to learn Japanese so that I could legally plagiarize Japanese texts and articles by just translating them without my college ever finding out.

I like Nikolai Gogol

Why? Literally everything i said is true. Russian literature consists only of explaining stories and then arriving at a conclusion, because the average russian IQ limits them from looking at the world theoretically. If Dostoyevsky was smart he would've written a treatsie on philosophy or morality, not a glorified children's book
Compare them to more advanced people like the Germans, Germans have almost zero books with 1000 pages of worthless anecdotal evidence, their literature is highly theoretical and systematic, dominated by raw reason and logic, hence why it flies so high above the average Any Forumscel's head. I can't imagine Kant, Schilling, Hegel, Marx writting some low class drivel and going like "hey guys, look at this guy that killed a pawnbroken, really makes you think about god huh???"

I'm a /lit/let, what are some good German books? No political shit, just good stories

Just learn French, German and English if you want to read all literature, that way you can always pick the superior translations to the 3

I tried to read in English several times and the only novel which I can say I truly understood was The Catcher in the Rye, almost always I got filtered and had no fun with checking dictionary at phone almost all the time. So I stick with Polish translation.

Yes
Latin and greek
