Apologies if this question is too general for this thread.
What might cause you to choose to read (or re-read) a book in a second or third language? Is it the topic, author, writing style, to be in alignment with where the book takes place geographically, to challenge yourself, to maintain or expand vocabulary, to understand the concept from the perspective of a different language, or something else?
As someone who wasn’t raised in a two-language household, I read some books in German (B2/C1) for the challenge/maintenance of language and expansion of vocab. However, I choose these books depending on their subject matter and the author’s writing style.
Any comments on this and your favourite pick from a second language is welcome!
I’ll start: Am Himmel die Flüsse (There Are Rivers in the Sky) by Elif Shafak.
