Hello,
I am a secondary school from Hong Kong. English is my second language and I want to learn more vocabularies.
My teachers always suggest me to read more books in order to enrich my vocabularies. However, I found it quite difficult to choose among so many English books. Especially in my level. Recently, I have read Harry Potter and I think the level is OK for me. Do you have some books to recommend me that are similar to Harry Potter? Will Lord of the Rings suitable for me?
Thank you very much.

I think you'd LOVE Lord of the Rings. They are great books. For some more excellent reading (in the same genre), try C. S. Lewis's "Chronicles of Narnia." He was a good friend of Tolkein's and wrote in a similar style.

I wouldn't recommend Lord of the Rings just yet, a lot of native english speakers struggle with it. If you do read it...have a good dictionary nearby, I needed one!

"My Family and Other Animals" by Gerald Durrell. Great book, really sweet and so very funny, nicely written and easy to understand. His descriptions are breathtaking, they give a very clear image to the mind's eye. He was a great author. Another good one is "Rosy Is My Relative", also by Gerald Durrell.
