Using a mix of methods is the best way to learn. Start with structured workbooks to build a strong base, then add fun by reading graded books or novels. Choose what you love, like adventure, sci-fi, or classics, and switch up formats to keep it interesting.
Try Collins English Readers for B1 and B2 levels, which cover many genres. Oxford Bookworms and Macmillan Readers offer classics like Frankenstein and A Tale of Two Cities at an intermediate level, with audio support to help you along.

Honestly, any book you enjoy is great—as long as it’s in English. Even if it feels a bit too difficult, that’s actually a good thing because it helps you grow your vocabulary and get used to the language. I personally read Coraline and Fried Green Tomatoes, and even though some parts were challenging, they really helped me improve. Just pick something that interests you and go for it.

Hi John,
I think it depends on your reading interests and why you want to improve your English. The important point is to immerse yourself as much as you can.
If you are into literature, I enjoyed e.g. reading Watership Down, The Catcher in the Rye, Beloved, Becoming, The Importance of Being Earnest, Candy, Bury my Heart at Wounded Knee, I Never Promised you a Rose Garden, The Cat who Went to Paris, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, or the Color Purple. Have a dictionary or Google Translate ready and start reading. If you don't know a word, look it up.
If you are learning English for a particular field of studies or a particular job, start reading about that. It could be car repair manuals or the story of the first heart transplant or how the structure of DNA was discovered. The important point is to learn some of the vocabulary in that field. As a non-native speaker one always has pockets of competence and other areas where the vocabulary is lacking.
I hope this helps! All the best to you!
