I try to make do without translations, i.e. read the originals in the case of English, German or French. Most of the books I read for pleasure are in English, with e few German ones thrown in for good measure. I have a thing for British Fantasy (Rankin, Pratchett, Adams, Fforde of late) and Humour (Wodehouse, Mortimer), but like police procedurals and cozies, too. (Charlotte MacLeod, Rhys Bowen ...)

Of course there's a lot of non-fiction, too, most of which is in English anyway. Bad translations bug me, and I've been known to abandon a book for that reason.
