As some of the others posted: I read for many reasons thus chose other. I tend to read in my native English the majority of the time, but I like to read good literature in the native language as well as some newpapers. I read novels in Spanish and French and occasionally in Russian and German. Settled in Japan, So hopefully I can read some good novels in a few years time once my Kanji gets decent,Now, I must read only short stories in hirigana with bits and bobs of Kanji. I think reading in the original is a big reason for many as translations often fall short. I.E. Poetry in Russian and French is far richer in the original than any English translation I have ever read.
