    Post The books in English that should be read ( your opinion)

    There are a lot of people ( like me) who want to improve their English skills by reading books. Which books do you think to be the best for this aim?

    I wouldn't say that there are any specific books to improve people's English. I would just say to read any book, though I do recommend Hemingway for his somewhat stark and terse prose.

    Just don't get into Dickens too early. He is an excellent writer, no doubt, and one whose books would likely enriches one's language skill; but his prose lingers and deviates in such a way that an inexperienced English reader will have trouble following it.
