My mother tongue is French, but I read in English and Italian for several reasons :
- availability (mostly for english books) : sometimes it's easier or quicker to find the book in english than wait for the french translation
- work : mostly for english documents now, but I used to work also in italian several years ago
- language skills (for Italian) : it's more to keep my fluency in Italian than to improve it, as I can't practice it as much as I'd like
- quality : sometimes the translations are not very well done, so it's better to read the book as it was originally written
