please help me to choose one novel to read, I need to get more and more new vocabulary
I am a wine educator that teach people wine knowledge such as grape varietals , region knowledge , etc. Oral English problem is really make me anxious now. I do more and more exercise for promote it but useless. Maybe lack of vocabulary, reading and study no so hard at grammar is the reason of it. I have many English book, like 《to kill a mocking bird》, 《the gathering storm》, 《wine book：1976 judgment of Paris 》. I've readied first one 25 pages, it really has too many rare word like coyotes, Fox Terrier in every page. 《the gathering storm》is written by Winston Churchill，also a difficult book. 《wine book：1976 judgment of Paris 》is too easy for me. So can you suggest some novels for me?

First off, when you want your oral English to improve, you need to start talking English on a regular basis. More vocabulary doesn't train your oral language skills. An example: you want to learn how to surf. You read read books about surfing. Then you try it, and you can't do it. You read some more books, but you still can't surf. It's the same with speaking a language. Just do it, even if your vocabulary isn't large. Now, I do understand that it's very hard to find an affordable language tutor/teacher, or to find English language exchange here on iTalki. I really don't know how to help you there. But are there any English speaking expats where you live? Maybe combine your hobby with speaking English?
As for the books. Books never hurt :) Books are awesome :) Maybe this list is a good starting point?

Try reading the plot synopsis. Chances are that when you can read the plot synopsis, you can read the book. Maybe browse through the Amazon store and read some plots? I'm not sure if Amazon is available in your country? But if it is: Amazon also has some free samples of books so you can try them first.
