Some novels please

Hello

One time I read that if you want to learn language you should read books, so I tried to read a novel to Agatha Christie but it was too difficult for me I miss understand a lot of things so I will be grateful if you nominate me some good novels with easy words for beginners.

"note: please I do not want children novels it makes me bored" Thanks.

Thank you Taib Adam for your advices I had read for Dostovsky and Tolstoy but in Arabic, it will be interesting to read for them in English but I will follow your advice to keep them until I feel more command in English

Thank you again :)

"Alchemist" & "El Zahir" by Paulo Coelho are the easiest novels I have read by far. They contain easy everyday vocabulary and the plots are not very complex or hard to follow. 

Since I am a big fan of classics, I also feel the need to suggest you read Crime and Punishment by Dostoevsky, War and Peace by Tolstoy, Metamorphosis & The Trial by Kafka, and The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar. However, these novels are long, difficult, and contain complex plots. You might find them a bit challenging, so it's better if you just keep them in mind until you feel your command of English has advanced a bit.

Hi Alaa, 

I can totally relate to your story. I highly recommend you reading these 3 amazing books which happen to my favourites:

1 - The Perks of Being a Wallflower (Stephen Chobosky)

2 - The Ocean at the End of the Lane (Neil Gaiman)

3 - Diary of a Wimpy Kid (Jeff Kinney)

I use them myself as a study material to improve my writing style and grammar. These books are written in plain English and easier to read for learners of English.
