English novel

[jitter1]

Any suggestions about a good English novel for me to read?
Something different from Alice in wonderland, Flatland, Gulliver etc. Something more actual maybe...
A novel not too difficult to read beacause my english vocabulary isn't so rich.

Thanks!

talking about sexuality ... why don't you read "the lady chatterlay's lover"?

I agree on buying a vocabulary. May I suggest buying the mobile version? I have to say that I find it much more useful than the traditional one, and it's also cheaper. There are also free mobile apps, but they are usually not as good, and they are plagued with annoying ads.

In my opinion Da Vinci Code is a good novel for English learners.
Stevenson is, sure enough, good literature reading but the vocabulary you can find therein is a bit dated. Much better Dan Brown's modern every day English.

Hey, @jitter,
did you make a choice?

[Indrjo Dedej]

Hey, @jitter
a Hemingway novel? Or a Stevenson novel? I read two years ago "The bottle imp". It is a short story, but it is interesting in my opinion. If you want more, you could read "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde".
In these days I have to read Robinson Crusoe and Tom Jones.

"Indrjo Dedej":
"Fifty shades of gray" is trash, not literature

hahaha, yeah, definitely
also, it was originally a "twilight" fanfiction

trash over trash

@v3ct0r, I know. "Fifty shades of gray" is trash, not literature. However buying a vocabulary is a good suggestion, it could help you and you may enrich your personal vocabulary faster.

it might be worth pointing out that I was joking about the vocabulary (and also about "fifty shades of grey") :)

[Indrjo Dedej]

Which literary genre do you prefer?
In my opinion reading novel is a good way to enlarge your vocabulary, better than buying a vocabulary.

"jitter":A novel not too difficult to read beacause my english vocabulary isn't so rich.

well, I guess you could just buy a better vocabulary :)
(sorry, I couldn’t resist)

however, you could also try “fifty shades of grey” (I’m pretty sure you won’t have to worry too much about your vocabulary XD)

I thought of something else. if you like history and biographies I strongly suggest "I am Malala" from Malala Yousafzai

I've red Leonardo code in italian. I think Dan Brown is a little bit "commercial", but for my aims it would be a not bad idea. Thanks!

how about the new Dan Brown's book? I haven't had the chance to read it yet, but if you like the type it shouldn't be too difficult to read.
