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.

English is often a bit shorter than other western languages, so it's slightly more sustainable and more efficient. On average, the books weigh less, take up less space and are also slightly quicker to read. You can compare books you have in the same language, with similar layout to see for yourself.
