I couldn't disagree with you more is the complete phrase.

'something' is maybe redundant and maybe one 'that' wouldn't be bad as well.

Well, they're wrong!

"they're" is used in more informal or colloquial style. However just before this "they're", you make a statement that is clearly formal. So if you follow the same style it should be.

Well, they are wrong!

It is you who speaks/writes in both sentences.

Even if I know enough English to read fiction, there's always something new to look for...

"Even if" might induce confusion about whether you know English at all or you just say "if someone including me knows". However, you know that you can read fiction, so it is better with "although".

enough of English

or

English enough to

'enough English' is very unusual. You may say maybe 'enough room' or 'enough time', but even that rarely. 'enough English' just does not go. 'Look for' already has a hope and desire so '...' may be redundant.

"there's" should be (disregarding the style) "there is" because it means "it has". You may use "there's" only in conversation but even then it is not considered correct.

Although I know English enough to read fiction, there is always something new to look for.

I would add

Although I already know English enough to read fiction, there is always something new to look for.

'look for' means 'search for' or 'hope for' or 'try to find' and I am not sure that it works perfectly well here because you need a closer synonym to 'learn'. Maybe 'find out', 'come up', 'absorb', 'mug up' (US), 'cram'... are better.

:o) :o) :o)

I hope you will take this as a small joke. Only to remind you where you have come. Glad to see you here.
