10 months agoMostly pick English, it is a big language with bigger budget for translation than Swedish. I have read some really bad Swedish translations, so I am wary.
Also, dated Swedish language sounds a lot more dated to me than dated English. So that is another win for many classic works unless there is a recent translation available.
I know people can get quite defensive about this book on reddit. But if it is any comfort, I didn’t like it either. While many say it gets better and better, I thought every reveal just made it sillier.
