Gibbons Decline and Fall is probably the highest, most noble English I have ever read. Hume is up there too. For high vernacular, Faulkner and Nabakov

The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao. Good book, and since you know Spanish already you would probably have a handle on a lot of the word play used since they use a lot of Spanish phrases and stuff throughout the novel.

Don't read this OP. Diaz will teach you improper English and encourage bad language learning habits. Additionally, it is a very boring book and you probably won't be entertained by it

This. Stay away from hispanic-american novelists.
I'm going to read The Picture of Dorian Gray, Lolita, Catcher in the rye, Stoner in English.
I've been able to read books like Harry Potter, Treasure Island, some Pratchett etc. without problems.
Is vocabulary or style of any of these books too difficult to understand for non native reader?
