... for the sake of reading literature in its original form, what would it be?
I've been contemplating this for a while and I can't come to a decision. I enjoy many different cultural forms of literature from the Russian Dostoevsky and Tolstoy to the French Hugo and Voltaire. There are so many good choices that I only end up with ambivalence!
So, if we were to look at it from a economic point of view, which language would give me the most bang for the buck--or, in this case, the most literature per language?
Thanks.
