For beginning reading, I suggest that you find a good piece of childrens lit, such as Charlotte's Web or the like (Harry Potter if you are a little further advanced), go on to Amazon and buy the book in both English and Spanish. Then you can lay them out side by side and when you get "stuck" you can get your bearings again.
If you're a little more advanced and have a Kindle, you can download the Spanish to English dictionary (about 10 bucks) and then buy whatever Spanish novel you'd like. The dictionary feature will give you an auto-translation of any word that you hit.
But a word or warning here. If you are a beginner the dictionary on the Kindle won't do it for you because it won't help you with phrases that work as a single unit (like tener que and the like) nor with idioms. So unless you are a little more advanced you will got get where you need to go.
I would suggest started with baby-steps and progressing to great literature. It's no different than learning English. If I gave a 3rd grader some heavy tome, they not only wouldn't learn anything but they would become discouraged.
Best wishes on your journey into Spanish literature...
Don Quijote is definitely near the top of any list of great Spanish literature, but it's definitely not a beginner's book.
