I like to read in the original language as often as possible, and when that's not available I tend to assume the English translation might be better. Not necessarily though; If you're Spanish and reading a French book, the Spanish translation might be closer to the original than the English one.
I do, however, want to read more literature written in my mother tongue. It has a different feel from English, and it's like holding the key to an amazing world of literature that's not open to everyone.
