Is it a negative thing that I exclusively read books in English rather than in my native language? (lemmy.world)

I primarily engage with fiction, particularly fantasy literature, and occasionally delve into non-fiction.

It depends.I used to read a lot of books in my native language (Finnish) but for years most of the stuff I've been reading and watching has been in English, I also use a lot of English at work. At some point I realized that my active vocabulary in my native language was atrophying. So, I decided to go back to reading books in it. So, be mindful about that :)
