It is really unfortunate that it is impossible to get the full experience of a novel unless reading it in the language in which it was written.

It’s been a really long week - there’s been a whole bunch of stuff crowding my head that I really feel helpless about, and it sucks. Things I’m worried about but have no control over, people I’m concerned about but unsure how to help.
