Is it a negative thing that I exclusively read books in English rather than in my native language? (lemmy.world)

I primarily engage with fiction, particularly fantasy literature, and occasionally delve into non-fiction.

Read A Memory Called Empire by Arkady Martine (preferably in English). It's a sci-fi novel that describes this kind of feeling, so it could resonate with you and perhaps even help you find some answers. I personally think it's perfectly ok to read books in any language. You don't have to be interested in those in your mother tongue.
