>>24887063>Jana EyrováWhy would you torture yourself reading novels written in English like Austen, Orwell, or the Brontes in translated form. Clearly you're capable of reading English, hence why you're on an English speaking imageboard, and if you're able to, you should always strive to read books in their original language. I'm ESL myself but always read in original (Italian, German, or English) if I can.Anyway, these are all fine books, but you already knew that. I imagine you're relatively new to "serious" literature, but you're already covering a lot of ground, which is good.
