Pessoalmente, I never believe in reading foreign books in the original language – I lose so much if it’s *not* in translation!  However, for those who can, they should.
Stuart reminds me of Translation Party, a wonderful website where you enter a phrase in English.  When you push the Find Equilibrium button, it starts a loop, translating from English to Japanese to English.  It continues until it gets two English translations in a row that match.

Translation Party turns the sentence

"Yes, of course, if it's fine tomorrow," said Mrs. Ramsay. "But you'll have to be up with the lark," she added.

into

' Yes, of course, tomorrow 'said Mrs. Ramsay'. Open the Lark ' of women.

(cf.  http://translationparty.com/#11035348).

One of Stuart's own phrases provides even more fun: http://translationparty.com/#11035344
