Hola! I'd recommend that you read/watch/listen to things YOU like. I learned a lot (and I MEAN A LOT) of my vocabulary by playing video games. I love them and they were all in English so I had to figure out a lot of things in order to actually have fun haha As to a more general approach, I would start with TV series, mainly because they have set characters and problems tend to be solved by the end of the episode, so you can easily understand what's going on–the trick here is to pay attention to the little idioms and words you don't know. I find that watching movies/TV helps out more with the pronunciation if you're a good listener. "Friends" is a good show to start with. To expand your vocabulary reading is best. I would start by reading an English version of a book you have already read; you will know the plot and storyline, so solely focus on vocabulary and expressions. If you want some great books to read, I recommend you check out the monthly Best Sellers list from the NYT: http://www.nytimes.com/books/best-sellers/ Select the category you want and go for it! Buena suerte y déjame saber si te puedo ayudar con cualquier otra cosa! Saludos desde Mexico!

I agree with Dan - The Breakfast Club is excellent. I would also recommend the book The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie. It's a memoir about Alexie's life growing up under really difficult circumstances on the Wellpinit Reservation in Washington. (Alexie is a popular American writer.) Also, if you like Harry Potter, the English prose there is very accessible and probably good for beginners. Finally, the novel The Chocolate War by Robert Cormier is amazing and the prose is also easy. Have fun!
