Before getting into the recommendations,you need to determine your English reading comprehension level. If youJre at the beginner level,there are two options: reading a children's book or reading a book that you’ve read in Chinese translation. 2.

If you’re at the intermediate level,popular books like pop fiction,mysteries and thrillers are good options. For advanced readers,classic works of literature or modern prize winners ( Nobel,Pulitzer ) are good options.

3. When I pick up a book I like,even though the first few chapters are really hard to get through,I would try to get accustomed to the language the author uses. Generally,after the first few chapters,things get a lot easier,especially if I get involved in the story.
