Okay, first off, I guess this belongs here, since a light novel is literature, before anyone goes off on me for posting in the wrong one again, and that was an accident.

Does anyone know where to read all 10(?) of the light novels translated? I lookied at some "Baka-Tsuki" site, and they only have a few novels, half-ass translated. I want to read the full story, cuz it seems to be getting interesting, like Mikado going all evil or whatever. I really want to read them, so does anyone know? I'd appreciate the help. ^^

Yes, they only have a few novels. If you've already checked out the links that lead to the Livejournals, then you've got Volumes 1, 4, 5, 6, and 9 fully translated over there, and volumes 2 and 7 partially translated. The anime covers Volumes 1-3, so you can pick up from the fourth.
You should really remember that those "half-ass translated" novels out there are from people who aren't getting paid to do this. It is hard work translating hundreds of pages of text, especially from Japanese to English. All the volumes are not yet translated, and the translators are on a hiatus right now so updates will be postponed.
Please don't go bitch at them to restart the projects because they are busy IRL. Be patient and they'll come back once they're ready. I am waiting, and so are many others.

Also, there are currently no other translators for the project (well, there's one or two, but their work is also on hiatus for more than a year or so and they have not translated anything that hasn't yet.)
