What can anda recommend to read in English?(English isn't my native language)

I'm a French speaker myself, so here are some English buku I enjoyed a lot when I read them:

1. The Canterville Ghost, Oscar Wilde
2. The Secret Garden, Frances H. Burnett (a children book, but I don't get tired of it)
3. Matilda, Roald Dahl (same as above)
4. The Lord of the Rings, J.R.R. Tolkien

If anda want to read lebih challenging books, try to read the Jane Austen novels (any of them, they're all great). anda will learn a lot of vocabulary.

summary of the book if anda choose to read it....

With perfect pitch for the humor and heartbreak of everyday life, Julie Buxbaum has fashioned a heroine who will be instantly recognizable to anyone who has loved and Lost and loved again.

When successful twenty-nine tahun old Manhattan attorney Emily Haxby ends her happy relationship just as her boyfriend is on the verge of proposing, she can't explain to even her closest Friends why she did it. Somewhere beneath her sense of fun, her bravado and her independent exterior, Emily knows that her breakup with Andrew has less to do with him and lebih to do with…her. "You're your own worst enemy,” her best friend Jess tells her. "It's like anda get pleasure out of breaking your own heart."

As the holiday season looms, and Emily contemplates whether she made a huge mistake, the rest of her world begins to unravel: She is staffed on a multimillion-dollar lawsuit where she must defend the very values she detests sejak a boss who can’t keep his hands to himself; her Grandpa Jack, a charming, feisty octogenarian and the person she cares most about in the world, is losing it, while her emotionally distant father has left her to cope with this alone; and underneath it all, fading memories of her deceased mother continue to remind her that Cinta doesn't last forever.

How this brave, original young heroine decides to take control of her life and face the fears that have long haunted her is the great achievement of Julie Buxbaum’s marvelous first novel. Written with the authority, grace, and wisdom of an penulis far beyond her years, The Opposite of Cinta heralds the debut of a remarkable talent in contemporary fiction.

i would recommend anything sejak Nick Hornby... English isn't my native language too and Hornby's buku are great and easy to read...you should at least try one and see if anda like the style and/or the themes (i know i Cinta them!)

most of his buku are about...well, life - seen from different angles, with Heroes at different important points of their lives - hornby's Penulisan is funny and witty and he has a simplistic approach on our problems

anda should really give him a try;)
