I'm glad you guys agree with me on this. I do love English and the fact that you can communicate with so many people from all over the world these days because of this language. And unlike many others I don't mind English words sneaking up in German or other languages. But then again I wouldn't want to trade in all the different languages in the world, there are so many that already aren't in use anymore and it probably sounds science fiction-like to even think about English being the only language out there one day. But still, forgetting about non-English literature definitely isn't going to help with keeping diversity alive. I'm sad thereshedances's project readtheworld mostly took place while I was abroad because this really was an amazing idea.
