Horrible Histories is I have read the most interesting history popular science books, very very horrible, tells a lot of interesting history story, the same name science and education documentary also must look!
The Chronicles of Narnia
CS Lewis's writing is quite good, his other out of Space trilogy is also very recommended, Narnia wins in the story interesting, the language is simple, although commented that the situation of Christianity is very serious (Japan's Tanaka very annoying this book, said the book reflects the divine and dense bones), But the impact on future generations is far-reaching, and HP is influenced by Lewis, which is set at 7 volumes
CS Lewis wrote another set of children's books that belonged to sci-fi to

This book is not much to say ...
The Spiderwick chronicles a total of 5, is also very interesting fantasy story, it is recommended that you read
4, green and small (more than 6K words) from this level, I began to introduce the 46-level basis of the people can see what, no more obvious difficulty rating, for the following books are interested in their own selection of reading can
The greatness of Harry Potter is needless to say, but I must point out that:
Best grading reading, not a bookworm, but Harry Potter .
Rowling's book for the training of people's reading ability is really great, from the first only need five thousand or six thousand words can read the book, to the late each constantly thickening, with the depth of the plot, the difficulty of the book slowly deepened, style is slowly from the Association of Fun fairy tale to serious youth Adventure Works, Reading a complete set is a great help to read comprehension and vocabulary (the last book uses a range of more than 10,005 words), and it's better to listen to audiobook.
HP series also has three derivative fairy tale, recommended also to look for a see
Note: If you want to buy a paper collection, please be sure to look for the UK children's version of the purchase, other versions are not good
Read HP, recommended read The Hobbit

Artemis Fowl A total of 8, belongs to the modern fantasy story, the unique Nordic fantasy, the protagonist and the Nordic Goblin wits Story, the text language difficulty has some, and HP fourth fifth of the same

Guardians of Ga ' Hoole Boxed Set, Books 1-4 (watercress)
Where The Mountain meets the Moon (watercress)
The Graveyard Book (watercress)

Alone carry this part of the fairy tale come out to speak, is because there is a famous children's literature award, called Newberry Children's Literature Prize (Newbery Medal), awarded once a year to those who make a great contribution to children's literature, the quality is very high, and seems to be only awarded to English literature, like children book students, Wiki, to the previous year's award-winning list, can find a lot of good books, very exciting, language difficulty and vocabulary is often controlled within 1W, but the harvest of reading fun and moved, not the vocabulary can be comparable (above are the new berry years of winning works)
Push two more series
Each set out of more than 60, in exchange for several generations of writers, publishing history far beyond 30, given the pictures are the first version, the story may be older, recommended the 80 's later published stories, looks fresh and active
You are all jokes Conan is a student, hehe, Conan in the two sets of books, with the Senior High school, it is not worth mentioning
Two more sets of James Patterson.
These two sets of books are the adventures of the super-capable children, by the famous James Patterson, there is a kind of saying that someone else wrote his name sold, it can be said that I have seen the simplest language of the work of the text
As for the plot and writing, can only use pass to say, of course, by JP's brand, the year is the big sell hot (James Patterson, known as the United States thriller fiction King, New works of the advent, that can board the "Times" bestseller list first, by the United States "times" as "never miss the People ”。 As the world's top best-selling author, James Patterson was named Reader's Digest's most popular writer in 2004, so far the total catalogue sales is estimated at over 100 million copies, prolific is true)
Of course, I personally do not recognize his so-called "American thriller Fiction King" of the name, writing is really general, the story is actually the level of passing
Two more women.
These two are all adapted to film, and are all hot, girls should be like, not more introduced
Meg Cabot, the United States and even the world's leading commercial Ya writer, more than 100 publications, books, her book is the first choice for adolescent girls to read, especially valuable is that each of her books have done the young girl feelings, childlike childlike, novel creativity, depth, storyline and normal sincere feelings of the combination, than the twilight of this kind of rubbish don't know how many generations
Of course, Aunt Meg's books tend to be low-young, which is the reality ...
Here are some of the classics in juvenile fiction.
The Earth people know, not more introduction
Below is recommended several in YA (Young adult, Youth literature), belongs to the pillar level of books (the difficulty is relatively large, not recommended to try)
Hal's Mobile Castle, Diana Wynne Jones old Lady all the books are recommended, style and Roald Dahl more like, but the language difficult a lot, because Hayao Miyazaki, this book is her most famous series
Bosheckson and Olympus Gods, to tell the truth generally like, but the language difficult, frequency of about seven thousand or eight thousand or less, wrote 5, do not know how this set of books in the United States rounds
The Bartimaeus Trilogy is a unique fantasy story, The Magician apprentice summoned the most powerful elves ever after the story, the elves here is not the elf in the ring, but the kind of a Latin magic lamp with powerful powers to achieve your wronged elves, highly recommended audio books
I am Number four key fourth, in recent years has also been adapted to film, science fiction, difficult to adult, not so low young, action description tense stimulation, full of tension, very recommended
The Wizard of the Sea, the beautiful language of poetry, want to feel the beauty of English language and literature, reading this book must not be wrong, extremely wonderful, such as the dream of the scene plot, the author of all the books are recommended-this book a shot, while taking the Newberry and Hugo Award, Thoroughly put the entire YA series of literary schools have improved a grade, is recognized as the Pillar of Ya writings
Heritage Four, is the most beautiful memories of my year, the story is attractive, the girl is also beautiful, but the style is general, very verbose, compared to the HP difference (considering the author was only 16 years old or 19 years old), the plot lengthy procrastination, but more than the HP adult plot more, the overall story is also good, Considering the European and American cultural market ya literature overall weakness, this can also be seen (difficult)
Dark Matter Trilogy + prequel, is I have seen the most imaginative imagination, the most difficult text of a "children's books", language difficulty is super large, uncommon vocabulary, sentence is more complex, but the writing is very beautiful illusion. I don't know why the author writes children's books so difficult.
In recent years, the United States and Europe's YA market weak mess, Twilight opened a very bad head, the book is the most rubbish I have seen the novel, if the author is really what she said to graduate from literature, I guess she did not get a degree, or college results are certainly the bottom, the writing to the alma mater is duly humiliated, After the launch of a series of what Gossip Girl, Vampire Diary, Vampire College, all can only make hehe, a few years ago there is what hunger game by the movie Fire, the Fly king and the big Escape, and then popular what Divergent series (divergent), with Hunger Games, All boarded the so-called New York Times bestseller, it is really a slump in glasses, and when the 50-degree gray appeared, the old beauty of the brain residue finally broke through my bottom line, so, I do not want to vomit groove
The typical characteristics of this kind of books are from the traditional serious literature copied one or two ideas (flies king, beautiful New World, etc.), combined with high school students in the second fantasy, coupled with the three-stream writing of junior middle school students, make up a plate of a hodgepodge, so the United States of the brain remnant pupils and adults began to cheer (with their IQ estimates can onlyeven with the aim of improving English, don't read this rubbish. All said that the Chinese web is rotten, and so you see the American popular culture market This ya series of books, will not say that again
If you must see some plain reading to pass the time, girls I can recommend:
John Green (author)
John Gray, known as the United States, four Niang, is the most popular book market, even by the Times as one of the world's most influential people, the typical feature is teen romance, with a little science fiction elements in the inside, writing very very very small fresh, sales of great, NPR voted for the best teen novel, his book on the top of five or six books, the language is very simple, although I can not stand this kind of novel, but interested to try it-at least than the twilight of the city and other rubbish better than n grade, language difficulty is almost
Other recent more outstanding fantasy fiction (in fact, it is not very recent), I only recommend two sets:
Very cool, language text is very simple, but strange scary, here spook no mana, mainly to do exorcism work, so, still quite scary, the film is said to have been released? Total seven or eight copies
Scott Westerfeld's Ugly Man series, which is also the classic in Ya, tells the future world that human beings can choose their own stories, which are more depth works, as if there were three or four of them. He wrote the Leviathan series (3) can also see, with extremely strong steampunk style, tells that Darwin not only left the theory of evolution, but also left the biological genetic code, so the rapid development of biotechnology, the world divided into two pieces, a steam civilization, a piece is a synthetic beast confrontation, setting is very interesting, but read the introduction feeling the story is too low, not to see down
Above is basically I personally feel more good ya fantasy novel, take a book, can enjoy reading, enjoy the story
Let's talk about human fictional works and social science works.
Those who are not interested in teenagers ' books and fantasy stories can read the following four writers directly (about 46 levels of vocabulary grammar basis)
Sidney Sheldon, known as the United States, Jin Yong, the world's top story-telling master, is also in the world's works have been translated into the most national language writers, 180 countries worldwide introduced his works, his works were translated into 51 languages, the total sales of more than 300 million volumes worldwide, but the total of only 18 novels written, The top 17 novels have all been topped by the New York Times bestseller list.
Language seems to have a magic, you can write the ordinary life of vivid, text description full of tension, the story is fascinating, addictive, is well-deserved the king of popular novels
From the English language, the novel's writing is easy to understand, there is no long circle around the old, prefer to use small words and small words composed of authentic phrases, such as pay off, see To, get to, bring to his/her knees and so on, seemingly every word will, can form a phrase and seems not too familiar , this kind of word is very common in Sidnichelton's book, and it is very helpful for learning authentic usage.
Recommended Rage of angels and if tomorrow Comes
James Hadley Chase
Known as the King of the European thriller, there are more than 90 novels, writing more dialogue description, easy to understand, the novel wins in the layout of powerful, so read up, each novel is relatively independent, very recommended
James Hadley Chase
Erle Stanley Gardner, a practicing lawyer in his early years, is an expert at writing forensic detective stories. He has written 146 books in his life, the most fascinating of which is the 85-story novel of lawyer Perry Mason, each of which sells millions of books in the United States, and this novel has sold more than 300 million copies worldwide.
The most up-to-do is the Mason's collection of 85 books and some
The features of the Mason series have traditionally been a large number of courtroom dramas, so there is a lot of dialogue and descriptive language, and both are formal occasions in the style of writing, is very helpful to the absorption of oral corpus, this has seen no Mori the collection of people agree
The only drawback is that the writer is older, very individual usage is outdated, such as there is a sentence I am a dick, my friend saw a laugh for a long while, check the dictionary to know, Dick also has the meaning of detective
James Patterson
James Patterson known as the King of contemporary Suspense fiction, and the above three different, his novel time compared to the contemporary, the age is not so old, and writing more straightforward, I estimate three thousand or four thousand words can be picked up to read, but the novel quality is uneven, commercial traces of serious, Later even do not do their own, hang a JP brand, hired professional Gunners team to help write, early heard also to prepare a story outline, and then said that even the outline is not listed
His best-known series is Alex Cross, a large number, and can also be seen
The above 4 writers belong to the language is simple to the extent that can not be simple, and seemingly are not taboo and violent description, style are partial suspense thriller, belonging to the public love, the following said women to
I do not see much of the work of women, among which the more famous are:
Http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicholas_Sparks
A total of nearly 20 books published novels, the plot are very similar, write moving to deep sincere feelings, with words easy to understand, simple and clear sentence, is the first choice for girls to read the original
The American four Niang John Green mentioned above, not much to say
Stephanie Plum Series
This series in China is very small, the author Janet Evanovich in the country is not known, but this is really a very good series, because the protagonist plum my professional relationship, Bounty Hunter, Bounty headhunting, so the book is a collection of romantic love, comedy, suspense, Decryption and action in the same, pretty good
The only drawback is that the writing is not very good, you will feel the American best-seller How all this kind of
Another feature of this book is that each book has a number, and that it is the first of the series, the whole series of books is too much, also from the side of the book's success
The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency
The book is also very well-known, the best-selling list before the hundred, the protagonist is a female detective in Africa
This novel is not a traditional detective novel, but through interesting detective stories, to the northern hemisphere of the reader to show a very different world: the southern African people's exotic way of life, the simple and cunning of the villagers between the special interpersonal relations, traditional customs and modern ideas of various conflicts, The ethical system of African Aboriginal people and the contradiction and integration of Christianity in modern times. Character shaping God flexible now, very recommended to listen to the audio book version
These are the so-called "easy-to-read" fictional works, the following talk about non-fiction class
What's the best seller in Non fiction, wretched face?
Of course it's my big heart chicken soup. Hahaha chicken Soup for the Soul, a total of 100 books, the global sales volume of 200 million volumes, all are short stories, colloquial language, two thousand or three thousand words absolutely can understand, and so what, see Bai!
Many online resources, audio books, pdf,epub, everywhere, can find more than 10 read slowly
In addition to the heart chicken soup, the best-selling social science books also include (in fact, should belong to self-help)
It must be all right to find a book along this best-selling watch.
Which is to mention what Color is Your parachute? This book, talk about the future planning and career choice, I think undergraduates should be required to read, how to Win Friends and influence people also best to see, the inside of the recruit is very useful, Rich Dad, Poor dad, ha haha
All right, the book above if you don't feel nutritious, look at the following (wretched face)
The so-called idiot books.
The Fool series of books written in plain and easy to understand, involving all aspects, my computer collected more than 1000 copies, covering almost all topics, interested can take a look, broaden horizons, increase knowledge
In addition to the Fool series, we also recommend a series
Oxford General Reader, unlike the Fool series, the Book of higher quality, better writing, vocabulary depth is also more difficult, a total of more than 300, choose their favorite reading-Foreign institute introduced, but this book must be harmonious, wretched face
The following recommended series is what I have recently been reading, describing contemporary Chinese books, the more recommended
Modern China (watercress)
River Town (Watercress) trilogy, including Oracle Bones, country driving
Age of Ambition (watercress)
China Airborne (watercress)
Factory Girls (watercress)
Poorly made in China (watercress)
One billion Customers (watercress)
Red Capitalism (watercress)
Postcards from Tomorrow Square (watercress)
Also includes the New Yorker's letter from China column, Google can see online articles
The greatest benefit of reading this kind of book is to broaden your horizons, to understand what the authorities are unwilling to let you know, and to have a more complete understanding of the entire social class in China, so as not to say "Why not eat meat". So is the so-called instead. Second, the practicality is very strong, the book itself is the study of contemporary Chinese social problems, English expression close to the reality of society, very convenient to describe their motherland in English, highly recommended
This kind of book makes people wise, thinking, is a very good choice
In addition, social science books recommended Malcolm Gladwell and Thomas Sowell two writers, writing good to fly, but because of too much difficulty, skip the talk
The above is what I personally think the so-called easy-to-read English original books, should include some areas, the following summary
1, the original book expensive, see electronic version can, although immoral, but very convenient, kickass,libgen,btdigg,rutracker is I often use the search tool, usually reading mainly with the Kindle, tablet computer or notebook directly read, Electronic dictionaries are mainly used in the European dictionary with the Macmillan New Oxford and other thesaurus, with Word reading also has its own American traditional dictionary. The ability to look at the piracy is not correct after work, the basic is directly from the Amazon purchase electronic version
As for you say you do not like e-book, I sneer at a sound, can not bear it, do not come to my mother's message board spoiled, die his mother roll away.
2, if you just want to enjoy reading, then the above casually choose their interest in reading, I personally suggest fiction class at least read 30, non-fiction at least read 10, after the direction of their interests, to find a list on the Internet, all kinds of fantasy, romance, fantasy, sci-fi, classics, can read
3, if you want to system through reading to build vocabulary structure, first installed in the mobile phone European dictionary and Macmillan Thesaurus, and then preferred Magic Tree House40 Many, one day, each word must be checked, each new word is extremely useful
Then in Sideney Sheldon, James Patterson, James Hadley Chase and Nicholas Sparks a writer, a large number of rapid extensive reading, at least read 20, this time can be read by dialysis method, Dialysis operation method turn over my past answers
After choosing Alvin Toffler several books, each book is best read, his social science books are also master-level strokes, each word is necessary to accumulate and recite
Then choose a bunch of books on Chinese categories mentioned above, each reading
Then go to the Oxford Reader and The Fool's Guide and choose the subjects you are interested in.
Next you can read Malcolm Gladwell, Thomas Sowell, Churchill, Orwell, Russell and other people's prose essays and non-fiction works
Finally you can choose the main direction of their own, go to Goodreads and watercress find some good books, as you can read
4, if what you need is expertise
First find the subjects of interest in the Oxford General and the Dummies guide, read them, accumulate new words
Then go to the library to find relevant subjects of professional teaching materials, to carry out in-depth study and reading
Then you can enroll in the relevant courses at Cousera and other network colleges.
5, if you want to pass the exam, then none of the above is there.
The only thing you need to do is:find the previous reading of the real topic articles, read each, accumulate new words
Examination article partial argument class of explanation text, style and entertainment novel is completely different, reading fiction is certainly good, but short-term breakthrough effect is not small, suggest or to be familiar with the test style as the primary purpose, read the real title article, buckle words to ponder sentence, the heart has the power to choose social Science reading
6, how to balance the newspaper articles and the original book reading time
Information newspaper articles suitable for scanning--quick scan title, grasp the dynamic, encounter interesting articles, and then skim to see
Fiction books for extensive reading--Enjoy reading
Social science books are suitable for intensive reading--The problem vocabulary is more formal and covers all aspects, suitable for learning
The initial start of the reading training is not recommended to the newspaper and Social science-based, suggesting a fun-filled fictional work, to be familiar with English, and then slowly transition to upgrade
7, why must you read?
Reading is to learn the language, broaden their horizons, the best way to improve the mind, the harvest is definitely not just tens of thousands of tens of thousands of vocabulary, but to remember, must choose their favorite reading, do not like, I recommend, the effect can only backfire
8, how to find a good book
First of all, using the Goodreads, watercress, the book review and the list of books
Then pay attention to some of the more powerful scholars, such as Li Huilai and Liu Weipeng teacher
Then focus on his favorite writers, such as Tanaka, like the tree, you can know that he respected Dean Koontz, have time to find to read
If it is a social science reading, read a good book, you can look behind the reference text, clues, and can find a pile of good books
however, suitable for their own books can read their own, to find, just listen to recommendations, no use!
9, where to find professional textbooks? Don't ask me, I'm not your major, when I know everything? I don't understand physical chemistry ...
First look at their own textbooks and references, books for Americans, search, can find English name
Then go to the library and ask for search
Then ask the teacher to recommend
can also be obtained from the online professional forum.
In a word, don't bother me, neuropathy a each, all when I literature and history zhe through the business management door proficient? Exercise
10, about what base, Asimov, ice Fire, such as the best-sellers, do not belong to the category of easy to read, so not listed, we are interested can find their own to read, I have no interest in ice fire, have not seen, Asimov often see, but, not much recommended
Those who keep reading continue to evolve, while others stay in the state of chimps.
Good day, everyone!
