Easy to read books for non-native english readers. Can you recommend some?
I just finished 1984 and it was pretty easy.

Probably all the classics. To Kill A Mockingbird, Catcher in the Rye, Of Mice and Men.
The Stranger is french but the translation seemed pretty easy to me so that might be good too
>>7719691
what's your native language?

Agatha Christie's whodunits. I would recommend "Ten little niggers" (known today as "And there were") or "The crooked house".

Non-native english speaker here (not OP) and I highly recommend Catcher in the Rye as well. Highly enjoyable and not difficult at all.

These. In my experience, the easiest to read are by americans of the twentieth century. That or translations (but reading a translation in a non native language leaves you with a bad and dirty feeling).
So I add
>Slaughterhouse five
>Johny got his gun
>Catch-22
>The naked and the dead
Or you could also read 'The Sandmand' by Neil Gaiman for something lighter.

Also The Sun Also Rises is easy as shit and really comfy

Not Moby Dick.
Pretty much everything in the starter kit save for A Clockwork Orange.

>fucking enciclopedic chapters full of nautical terms
>good for beginners
Great book though.
>>7719779
>Of Mice and Men
what's in the starter kit? Name 10 plez.
Hemmingway and vonnegut are essential easy American lit. Brave New world is easy if you want more of that, same with animal farm.

>Probably all the classics.
I disagree. My native language is spanish and I have had a hard time reading Shakespeare's plays. Dickens' prose was also hard to follow.
>>7719691
That's a dude
>>7721167
Id be ok with that
>>7721167
is it?
>these hungry skeletons
>>7721105

A clockwork orange is kinda easy if you read the ebook, at the end it has a definition of all the slang so you can just search a word to get its meaning. I downloaded the free epub and found it easy even though English is my second language.
Hemingway's short stories would probably be right up your alley. Orwell is good aswell, I always liked his essays more than his novels.
Also, consider investing in an ereader. It makes reading in English so much easier, since you can just tap on a word and get the definition
I hot just what you need. Both fiction and non-fiction.
Camus - The Stranger
Hegel - The Phenomenology of the Spirit
Kant - Critique of Pure Reason
Virginia Woolf - The Waves
James Joyce - Finnegans Wake
Have fun reading!
