I definitely agree with you but can you imagine of how good your English must be in order to understand the book better than a professional translator can do it? Can you imagine the amount of time one must contribute/invest to achieve this level?
Well, maybe I am stupid and for other people it is easier to learn the language and get at least 5.000 vocabulary in order to read fictiopn and actually enjoy it (not just understand it).
Ah, just more question
Is there a difference between:
Hug me
and
Give me a hug?
If, yes, what is a difference
(it is a serious question, I am not trying to be funny)
