Hi! English isn’t my first language, and I’m trying to get better at it. I thought a good way to improve would be by reading books in English. When I was younger, I used to love horror books, but now I’m looking for something more classic. Any recommendations?

This is a very vague post. What does “something more classic” mean? Can you edit a little for specification (I understand you said English is not your first language).
If not, I’ll still try and give some suggestion:
* Easy to read Hemingway, esp:
* Sun Also Rises
* Farewell to Arms
* The Old Man and the Sea (very short book)
* Isak Dinesen
* Seven Gothic Tales
* Out of Africa
* Rudyard Kipling
* The Jungle Book
* Just So Stories
* A good translation of “1,001 Arabian Nights” (these are universal) – check out either Husayn Hadawy’s or the Penguin one (I think it’s Lyons)
* Robert Louis Stevenson’s “Treasure Island”
These are all simple to read for different reasons.
