I primarily engage with fiction, particularly fantasy literature, and occasionally delve into non-fiction.

Most books are written in English, and if your English is good then it's better to read the original rather than a translation.

I live in an English speaking country and English is my second language, but i still default to English version of a book even if it's translated rather than my native language. Of course books in my native language, i would read in original.

Perhaps i should start reading books in my native language to practice my language skills while living abroad.
