The only language I know with any fluency is English. I want to read The Trial by Franz Kafka. The Trial was written in German and if I read an English translation I feel I am not really reading Kafka. Am i the only one who feels this way? Does it even matter?

I had the opportunity to go see them but the tickets were way too expensive. It was out of my price range anyway. They're a really great band.
