Do you prefer to read books in English or Polish? What if the original is in another language, do you choose the English or Polish translation? Or do you read both?

I assume there are practical considerations like, has this book been translated into Polish? or, is it easier to get one version than the other where I currently am?

Oh it turns out the monoglot deer had a lot of questions... I hope you don't mind being interrogated

I do love monoglot deers! They're always welcome here!

I shall now reply in a polyglot ancient deer language- that is- put it in my own words!

Okay so- If I have an access to a book that's written in English I will most likely purchase it in English- when it comes to Provence detective novels, however, I bought six of them in Polish (as they were two times cheaper!) but the parts 7-9, I own in English- they haven't been translated to Polish yet so there wasn't a way for me to buy them at lower price.

There are also books which I would... Well, I would sooner DIE rather than read them in Polish- reading "Pride and Prejudice" in Polish is...well... Quite a different experience XD

There are also! books that I read in Polish but I NEED TO KNOW THE ORIGINAL- "Revenge of The Sith" for example. Still would love to read it in English but my heart has been buried deep down since I read the novel...(nostalgic music)

BUT!

When it comes to quite sophisticated books e.g. "Atlas Shrugged" I would prefer to read them in Polish as the subject would pretty much occupy my mind and I would have my hands deep in trying to make the sense out of the book bahhahah, so yeah

BUT!(OR AND!) BUTAND THEN!

There are some BOOKS- this feels like a cheap story in which I repeat the phrase and a chapter STARTS THE SAME WAY BUT HUH XD

Russian novels. Those I read only In Polish- I don't know Russian language that well yet, need to get back to learning some da-s, but there's this Slavic feel to it and I'm sure that translating it to English would make the story(no offence of course!) loose some of this unique, picturesque, Slavic theme, let's call it- that's why I read "White Nights", "Lika" or "Karamazov Brothers" in Polish.

Oh, and POLISH BOOKS! ONLY read in Polish! Translating them In English ALWAYS MAKES ME GO BAHHAAHHAHA😂

FUNNY STORY

I started reading "Faust" In German and managed to read 6 pages.

It killed me.

If youre talking about This thing

She tells Britain's The Sun, "For about a week he was calling and was deadly serious about it. Finally, I said, 'Well, you made my life hell, so I lived it and now I deserve it.'"

"He really thought he'd had some input into the creative process by being a p----," she says, "I'll give him this credit -- he made me an adult and put me on the road that I'm traveling."

what a joke. but seriously, thank god this asshole exists, because 21 is one of the best albums of all time -- OF ALL TIME
