/lit/ - Literature

Hello yet again. I'm a fluent Francophone, however my first language is English. I've read three novels in french (L'étranger, la nausée, la légion des damnéss) however I can't help but feel that I am missing something in my comprehension of the text. I'm going to try get back into reading French originals however I think I'll try reading a translation first and then the original. I'm just wondering if any other bilingual /lit/izens do this at all, or whether you have no trouble reading in your second language.
