I am reading mostly English books, although it's not my mother tongue. Why? I enjoy reading books in the original language and abhor most translations. Sure, if I don't speak the language a good translation is better than nothing, but if the original is available and I speak it I much prefer that. I also read books in German and French on occasion.

Since I'm starting out to learn Spanish I expect to read a few books in that language as well before too long.
