But don't you read French anymore? Don't you look for books in French? Don't you wish free French books were uploaded somewhere?

I've also mostly switched to English for the internet, but I still want and read books in other languages (and I've uploaded a few here). I wouldn't read a book originally written in a language I can read in an English translation (except, maybe, "The Forging of a Rebel", which was written in Spanish, but first published as an English translation; by the time it was published in Spanish, the original manuscript was lost, and it had to be back-translated to Spanish).
