Not into any of the above :P

My philosophy expertise is almost exclusively devoted to analytical philosophy.

http://scaruffi.com/know/mileston.html is a good list

"The Western Canon", "The New Lifetime Reading Plan", and "How to Read a Book" have some good reading lists if you're interested, but a very significant amount of all 3 is devoted to fiction and poetry

Alexander Shulgin is imo the greatest phenomonological philosopher ever, though he's probably more accurately called a scientist of the mind

is that because the anglo-saxons have difficulty with foreign languages and philosophy is difficult to translate into english?

No, I don't think it is.

Many or most of the most prominent analytic philosphers are non-English writers and are well-translated.
