I really like the way you put it — that your mind gets full of English if you’re reading an unknown book. I find that to be true too ^^ In any case, there’s room in the world for all kinds of stories, but I just think this would be the kind of thing that would be interesting to study.

Acually, when you read the books you’ve read already in your native language, it must be easier to read and you may have room to think well about the new vocaburaly or
gramatical things. It must be an important point in reading books.

However, when you read totally new stories for you, you may spend
much of concentration on it, because you just want to know what will happen next. You just try to keep concentration way more on the story itself. In that case, sometime I notice that my mind gets full of English because Japanese wouldn’t be of any help to me and there’s no room which any Japanese can get into.

And I sometimes feel like that this sort of consentration would form up some kind of wonderous power which can get over the problems of vocaburaly or grammers easily. It’s very hard to explain with words, but I feel like such concentration has a great power even to make up a new part in the brain, to think in English for me.

Well, anyways, I think there’s no proper answer to this question because there’s a good point on each of the ways.

Sorry if this comment just made you confused….^^;)
Maybe, all what I can say for sure is, “Let’s keep reading lots of and many kinds of stories with fun!”. ^^
