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.

Why would it be?

Good point. I'm wondering if it is a bad thing? Like, even though it does no harm, it reaches to the point that I tend to understand more in English than reading in the official language of my country, which we learn it from Grade 1. Maybe I consume too much Western Media? Hence the question. I would like to know if there are others who experience like me and know the downside of reading extensively in English rather than their native language. Maybe there's no downside?idk
