I'm just curious, have you ever read books in other language than your domestic tongue?
I know the majority users here are English native speakers so you not necessarily need to read something which, for instance, has not been published yet in your country. Here where I live we have vast range of already translated books but still plenty of the translations do not live up to their original versions, many of them still remain unpublished (mainly due to cost-effeciency).
That's where my frustration grew 2 years ago when I finally decided that I need to got around to read in English . I started with games (RPG games later on) and articles which was a great introduction - as reading bunch of pages from books per day with obscure vocabulary was daunting enough.
But long story short, now here I am to say hello to you all with a great satisfaction that I managed to overcome tons of obstacles in order to feel fluent in reading english books right from it's source!
