I have recently started reading books and I have just completed Harry Potter. I got A Game of Thrones after watching the series but quickly regretted it because it was too hard to read, I had to keep looking through the dictionary. So I have decided to start with something easier to read. I'm not that bad with English, so don't go that easy on me. I like True Crime, Horror, Adventure and Fantasy.

Go with, you know maybe books such as Helter Skelter and The Black Dahlia if you love true crime, and for horror Edgar Allan Poe may suit best or could try H.P. Lovecraft’s THE CALL OF CTHULU as well since they are really good. You could even try American Psycho novel in case you can handle gore and a little disturbing themes of killings and cannibalism and stuff since its not that hard either.

hi there! im a 18yo dude, and I’ve been reading ever since I can remember. I guess you’d like some Stephen King, such as It (a classic, obviously, but it’s 1100 pages long) or Joyland (a really short and fun one). if you’d like to go deeper, there’s crime and punishment by dostoyevsky, which is a psychological horror, but kinda hard to read ngl. since you’ve liked Harry Potter and like fantasy, lord of the rings is a smart choice, but the writing is a little boring since Tolkien exhaustingly describes the scenery.
I’m happy to help if you need to talk more 🙂
I’ll let someone else recommend the Joe Abercrombie books, as well they should. My recommendation is Merchanter’s Luck by CJ Cherryh. It’s scifi, with lots of adventure and interesting interpersonal dynamics. There’s a lot of other books in the same universe, some of the doorstopper variety- but this is a pretty short standalone with good pacing that makes you care about the characters. If you like it you can always find another of the related books to move on to.
Well I’d suggest the percy jackson series
Ready Player One and Ready Player Two. The sequel isn’t as good though.
In Cold Blood by Truman Capote.
