Can you explain what this means? I played the game Kingdom Come and really loved the medieval history in the game. I'd love to know more about medieval history in general.

What's this book about?

I want to read books, just learn a dead language. You're as fucking stupid as the French when they say learn French to read `In Search of Lost Time`.

No, go FUCK yourself. I am going to read the latest English translation by Lydia Davis. I don't give a fuck about French or Latin. Shove it up your ass you autistic wanker - fucking telling people to learn languages that takes years to learn just to read a fucking book with a broken understanding of the language.

FUCK YOU.

I AM FUCKING DOING IT. I AM GONNA READ IT ALL.

I am going to read the Penguin Random House versions with the new translations:
