I can tell you with 99% certainty I've read a great deal more than you (based on your response). Not a difficult prediction: no one reads anymore (certainly not in English), and inside America, no one reads anything other than current English language agitprop.

(I'm guessing "sad". Don't worry, democracy is an illusion. "Republic" for the pedants. Read more books. In English if you must, because that's all you've got.)
