Has anyone actually learned a language just to read books that are in that language? Is it worth it? Does it improve your native language writing skills?
sometimes jokes work better in the native language. Sometimes it doesn't matter.

I'm learning French primarily to read Proust. I'll let you know if it's worth it once I progress a little more.

I'm learning languages to sing opera. That's close.
Yes people having been doing that for centuries with latin.
>Is it worth it?
In a financial sense? not at all.
>Does it improve your native language writing skills?
You will improve if you translate into your language however I couldn't see why writing/sketching original works wouldn't be equally as helpful, perhaps more efficient even.
