I'm currently reading a book that's a Korean translation of Arthur Schopenhauer's writings. The title of the book is "당신의 인생이 왜 힘들지 않아야 한다고 생각하십니까" -- which means "Why do you think your life shouldn't be difficult." Ha ha ha! :]

The title is very brutal, but turns out the book was worth every penny. It's full of Schopenhauer's wisdom, wit, and honesty, which is what you need when you want to feel more sane and calm about life's ups and downs. Also, the translator Wook Kim (김욱) did a superb job of translating Schopenhauer's words into beautiful Korean.
