The Giver ( by Louis Lowry ) it's recommended for teenagers and it's a great story
I would also recommend the A Series of Unfortunate Events books by Lemony Snicket. There are 13 in the series. They are meant for young readers, so it would be fairly good for a non-native, and it is even written in such a way as to explain difficult vocabulary. The story is also fairly interesting for even adults to enjoy.
Have you heard of the Hunger Game trilogy? Best. Books. Ever.
I'm about 85% through the second book.
For anyone who wants to practice their Spanish with novels, here's the series in Spanish.
How about the Harry Potter series or Percy Jackson series. P.S. Both are good series.
I would recommend books by James Patterson. They are mostly written for the teen crowd but have very short and interesting chapters. I have recently finished the Maximum Ride and the Witch and Warlock series. I’m not a big reader but they kept my attention.
If you like the detective stories , Agatha Christie is excellent.
I put in another vote for The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. I'm a native English speaker, read it twice in English and now I'm reading it en español. simple enough to understand and good vocab-builder
How about:
"The Catcher In the Rye" by JD Salinger
"The Alchemist" by Paulo Coehlo
"A Thousand Splendid Suns" by Khaled Hosseni
"Every Night is Ladies' Night" by Michael Jaime-Becerra
The first three are fairly easily understandable novels with a good story line. The first one is a classic that is probably required reading for all teenagers in school and has a lot of slang from the 1940's, so some of it might be confusing.
The last one is a collection of short stories that are somewhat connected. It involves Mexican-Americans living in California.
You can read the novel Rage of Angels by Sidney Sheldon. That was my first English novel, it's a great novel and the language is not that difficult.
What kind of books do you like? I know of you google chapters or borders they probably have a list of best sellers that you can look up and find one that sounds interesting to you?
