Reading books for learning English I want to retype my previous note taking into account native speaker's corrections. I just can't leave it as it is now. Lately I don't like reading English student books. Maybe I'm wrong but recently I feel like learning natural and real language from books, movies and maybe even people. I just want to use English on a daily basis, not just doing exercises from a book. Sadly, my English still isn't improving. That's why I want to read a lot, constantly, every day. The issue for me is choosing a book. I've tried to read "The Lord of the Flies" since my school's English teacher told me it's easy and pleasant to read. I understand the storyline but I don't get some details and there's tons of vocabulary which I don't know. I can't concentrate on reading while I have to check every second sentence in a dictionary, it irritates me. My English is definitely too poor for this book. As well as for many other books I'd like to read. Nevertheless, I'll try Nabokov's 'Real Life of Sebastian Knight'. I've read it in Russian twice so I hope it's going to be easier to comprehend.

Good! I have tried to make it sound a little better, but it's good!

-Reading a book that you've read in your own language is a fantastic idea as it is much easier to understand. For me, Harry Potter has been fantastic! Good luck! Remain optimistic! :)
