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

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

I’ve tried to learn Spanish, and would love to get to that point, but I really wonder if I’d be able to enjoy reading for leisure in another language, or if it would feel like a chore.

It's a pain at first, don't get me wrong, but if you start with a decent amount of knowledge you should be fine. Definitely not something to do before you have confidence in your command of the language, though.
