hi frenchfag here. I speak french/english/hebrew/yiddish and even though french has by far the greatest modern literature of the four, I seem to enjoy more the latter three. I kread baudelaire, rimbaud, hugo, rostand, zola, camus whom I know are a level above eg poe (at least the first three) but weirdly I feel more shaken by poe's the raven than baudelaire's l'albatros, for instance.

Do you guys too have difficulty with enjoying your native language?

I don't think it's all that odd to be more easily impressed with something you're not as familiar with.
