Classics Books - A good classical for not English speaking people?
English is also my second language. Perhaps you could start with children's books such as Grimm's Fairy Tales, The Arabian Nights, Edward Lear's A Book of Nonsense, The Little Prince by de Saint-Exupery, The Jungle Book, Alice in Wonderland, and Sherlock Holmes. I enjoyed them as a kid and still do now. But the Harry Potter series and Twilight series are easier than most classics. Hope it helped!
