I'm a native English speaker, but I read Russian literature in Russian and Spanish literature in Spanish. This is mostly because I'm sick of bad translations and I like just going directly to the original - that way I know what the author actually meant to write and I don't have to rely on someone else's interpretation.
I've been trying to read a little bit in Finnish, but my Finnish isn't quite good enough to handle that yet, and there isn't exactly a glut of Finnish-language books available to me. Someday, perhaps...
