I tried reading Os Lusíadas, by Camoes (I believe I still have a copy of it)....but damn, that's hard!
I've only read a few parts of it. It's on my neverending list

It could be because when working with translations you lose the essence of the work and it was impossible to read pieces in other languages than Spanish, is the only logical reason I find
I think it's because, if you don't make your own children read your literature who will? It's about keeping your country's culture alive. Just look at movies, nobody takes care of that and at least here hardly anyone watches national cinema, they go to the movies to watch Hollywood product
