What do you guys think about reading translated literature?
I picked few books that I want to read but all of them are originally in English. I feel like those books would be better in original language but I want to read something in my native language to improve my linguistic skill. The problem is that I can't find any native Swedish literature that would interest me.
You think it's a fair trade off to read translated stuff in this, or any other, case?

Really depends on the quality and competence of the translators, so it's hard to say flatly.

She's a horrible person. She thinks she can abuse everyone because she comes from a wealthy family. You can see it because she always has that disdainful and cruel look in her eyes. I don't particularly like Saber, but she would make for a better gf than Rin.

Isn't the Iliad meant to have a really good Swedish translation?

Yes, Erland Lagerlöf's translation is really good. I'm not sure what OP is looking for if he can't find decent swedish authors
