I Refuse to Read Translations

I refuse to read translations, I read everything in its original language even if I don't speak it. I have read the entirety of Les misérables in French, Divine Comedy in Italian, Don Quijote in Spanish and Brothers Karamazov in Russia, without understanding a single word. fuck translations and fuck english, that is all I have to say

A masked, skeletal-looking man in a dark suit and top hat appears beneath an oversized speech bubble containing an absurd claim about reading famous books in languages he does not understand. The joke is exaggerated intellectual pretentiousness and hostility toward translations and English, making it useful as a sarcastic reaction to someone showing off their language skills.
