Reply to comment by RaderH2O in Greetings everyone! A lot of people say reading books is beneficial for you, though... by RaderH2O

Everyone he listed is a pretty popular author, so a lot of them will have translations into other languages

I want to read in English though. Not only is it better in the language it's written it, but also I want to improve my English too I guess

In that case I would really recommend Brandon Sanderson. His books r great and his writing isn't all lofty, easy to understand

Oh my god, thanks for telling me an author whose books aren't that hard to read, I would've had to look through all those books just to find the author that was not too hard to read lol. Appreciate it! And thanks for putting the time in on commenting!

Octavia Butler is great, too! She was a modern author who wrote in pretty standard prose. Her stuff is fantastic and weird.

Oh thank you!

But well, the more I learn, the more I feel like I know nothing of it, guess that applies to everything but it's true! There is just too much to learn! I still can't read a lot of great books like the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett, solely because I'd have to lookup a word for every line I read, lol!

Orson Scott Card is an author whose books are not too difficult and they are sci fi fantasy, some of his books have Christian themes but it's pretty subtle.
