My first attempt to read English book was with Twilight. Ofc, not because it's ambitious or something, rather I was expecting that Meyer uses simple language (I was wrong). If you're curious I didn't sail through this - too boring, I knew the plot earlier. Then I caught a bargain in Empik - Pride&Prejudice for 10 zl. Boring again. I don't know why, but a love story of dozen siblings doesn't appeal to me at all. Finally, now I read The great Gatsby and I love it. Unfortunately, I can't do without looking up words in dictionary but it's pretty normal I guess.
By the way, I'm curious if you use dictionary writing in this topic. Imho it's totally pointless.
