>what kind of reading age are you in English?
Well the only book I've read in english (aside from textbooks) is the sailor by mishima. I didn't have to look up a lot of words but it was his writing style that made it a bit of a hassle. I've also bought the english version of coin locker babies by ryu murakami mostly for its nice cover (which is also one reason why I bought the zer0 books print of cr).
Besides books I usually consume everything in english, whether it's subtitles in anime/movies or english speaking platforms like 4channel. The only thing I watch in german (my native language) is the news, and I read some german articles here and there.
>are you sure something like Capitalist Realism is a good choice if you rely on google translate?
I don't read cr in english just for fun, there are multiple reasons. For one I fucking hate the german book cover. 2nd I've read that the translation is not very true to its original meaning. And lastly I want to advance my english vocabulary in politics and philosophy.
Also since I'm mostly involved in english speaking discussions I want to make sure I can cite mark fisher's ideas and convey them accuarately if needed to.
