Try with:




Donna Leon is an American author who lives in Venice. Her books, although their setting in Italy, were never translated in Italian (but they’re available in every other European language and country).
Donna Leon’s novels follow the different criminal investigations of Commissario Brunetti trough Venice’s channels and bridges, but above all hopping from a cliché about Italy to the next. And this, I think, is a major point of interest because it’s always refreshing to perceive how foreigners see us.

Ok!
It's a detection story. Very good. I love it. There is also a love story? I love it too.

@
Mauro, my friend, do you want follow me in this adventure?

The blackcat books are not bad (http://www.blackcat-cideb.com/). They are school books divided in three levels (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced).
I've read "Frankestain" and "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde", I also used them for teaching in my private class (ah! Good times).


Otherwise, I suggest you "Eat, pray, love". Nice book, easy to follow, without too much details which make the story difficult to understand.

Another possibility is to read books meant for children or young adults, whose language and plot are simplified.
I read a lot of them. Allegedly because of my work, but in reality I love them and I enjoy very much reading them.

Try with this one:





Holly Smale, Geek girl.

I found it light and witty, with some autobiographic inspirations, that quite easily come through.

I have the pleasure to inform you that I started to read my english novel.
At the moment I arrived at page 60, but I think that I should come back, because my reading it's too fast.
I'm going to explain what I want to tell you.


When I began to read, I translated all the words, I was very slow. Boring reading.
Than I decided to increase fastness of my reading, so With a pencil I noticed only the unknown words. Miracle! the number of misterius words was lower.
In that moment I decided that I'll never looking for the sense, and since that moment I have been finisced to understand my novel.


Now this is my level of English, but, I hope, at the end of my reading Will be better.

[DarkCoffee]

[DarkCoffee]

I quote Mauro.

[kaipirissima]

Stieg Larsson's millennium trilogy?

no, it isn't. I prefer read a english/american writer.

[DarkCoffee]

You're right! You do well!
Is it maybe ""Fifty shades of grey"?
