Are you looking for novels or narrative nonfiction?
What kind of television or movies do you enjoy?
First, it might be a good exercise to read books you’ve already read in your first language that have been translated into English. That way you’ll be able to check your own understanding of the English text against your understanding of the text in your first language.
Second, recommendations for good English books:
– *Braiding Sweetgrass* by Robin Wall Kimmerer (non-fiction)
– *The Overstory* by Richard Powers (literary fiction)
– *The Last Unicorn* by Peter S Beagle (fantasy)
– *Everything Sad Is Untrue* by Daniel Nayeri (literary fiction based on the author’s life)
– *Devotions* by Mary Oliver (poetry collection)
– *The House in the Cerulean Sea* by TJ Klune (fantasy)
– The Thursday Murder Club series by Richard Osman (comedy/mystery fiction)
