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.

I read mostly English because English books are easier to get online (I mostly read classics from Gutenberg). It really helped me improve my English. If you want to get better in your native language, then it may be a good idea to read more in that language, but I wouldn't worry too much about it if I were you.
