No libraries where you live?
I'm an avid reader. Books from authors I like here tend to take months to years to get translated and into a library. I read everything in English now because of that.
They have a debilitating disability.
Yes, besides living in a rural area with a shitty library that has only books online I read in middle school, I have agorophobia. So making the trek there isn't that simple.
Even the biggest university library's online books are not up to date. They take years to get translated, so instead of waiting for that (since I'm not sure whether I'll even be alive by then) I just read books in their original language as soon as they come out.
And stop making fun of disabled people.
