I've got folk tales and some translated philosophy and... well, most of it is translated or adapted, but you can't beat the language.

[pokeay]

Ah, well... if it's in a different language I probably wouldn't be able to read it anyways...

[webfreedomftw]

Mm, true. If you ever feel like picking it up, though...
