Hi!

I recommend the books of Penguin Readers and Oxford Bookworms. I have read "The Phantom of the Opera" and "Mutiny on the Bounty" (Oxford Bookworms, stage 1), and "The missing coins" (Penguin Readers, beginner). The Oxford stage one's books are harder than beginner's Penguin Readers. Actually, I am reading "Twenty thousand leagues under the sea" (Penguin Readers, beginner) by Jules Verne. In my opinion, the latter is a very interesting book.

Best regards!

Hi,

I bought 'Twenty thousand leagues under the sea with CD but I didn't begin to read. I have just finished 'The Young King and other stories' by O. Wilde. (Longman Classics Stage 3). I enjoyed the book.

"Animal farm", George Orwell.. It's shorter than "1984", that however is Orwell's best novel in my opinion

The book  84 Charing Cross Road  by Helen Hanff is one of my favourite books.The book contains letters between the author and Frank Doel an antiquarian bookseller in London.  Helen Hanff who lived in New York regularly bought classic books which she wasn't able to find in NY, in London. For twenty years she  exchanged letters  with  Frank Doel and a long-distance friendship evolved. Also the other  employees in the book shop in London got involved . As there was a food shortage in London after World War II, Helene Hanff decided to send parcels to her friends.The story takes place between 1949 and 1969.

I read the book in English. The book is easy to read , not least because the letters are always short. I enjoyed reading the book. It is  witty and also conveyed contemporary history. I can highly recommend the book
