/lit/ - Literature

To those of you who have learned a second language, how did you push through from intermediate being able to understand things with a moderate amount of dictionary, but nothing too difficult, to being able to fluently read actual literature?

As a side note, if you are from Europe and know English + something else, or started learning a language in any capacity before the age of 18, I really don't give a fuck about your advice. You don't even count as bilingual so don't bother responding.
