Can you recommend some English books to read?
I find some translation copies of English books are even more difficult to read because of the awkward expression, so I want to read some original editions without too much obscure words or professional terms, of course, it would be better if it is interesting rather than plain. Thanx a lot~

I think you should try to find some Oxford bookworms, those books are usually about classical novel (like Sherlock holmes, Dracula. little women), but it isn't a original, people from oxford University narrowed it down, and replace difficult and strange words, so you can easy to read and understand the story. There are 6 levels (stage) for people, who are learning English. In the end of every book, there are questions about your vocabulary and your understanding. Your english is Upper Intermediate, you should start with stage 5 or 6 (about 600 pages each).

I´m sure there are a lot of better works,but these were the ones I had to read for my English classes.
