I have been reading books for about two years.

 

I have read books about 140 so far. 

Those were mostly children's book. 

 

Pachinko is the only exception of those kind of books I'd read.

Reading children's book gave me a good experience of learning English. They had a good expressions of spoken English and phrasal verbs that I didn't know. 

 

Archie - I read only one book. Yvette gave me a recommendation of this comic book. I felt difficulty about some expressions and I got a confussion of recognition charactor 'u'. Sometimes I confussed LI to U becuase of their fonts.

 

Arthur Chapter book - I didn't know this is a famous series in U.S.A. This book was educational and really funny especially D.W.'s joke sister of Arthur.

 

AtoZ Mysteries - These series goes from A to Z. The first book's title was 'The Absent Author'. Three children were solving problems from some clues in there seriese. They were all like detectlves. I have read these series to 'E'.

 

Forever Friends - Jasmine is a girl who loves dogs and cats. So were her friends. They were about to open pet festivals to get a permission to have their own pets from their parents.

 

Geronimo Stilton - An adventure of mice. Geronimo Stilton is a mouse who running his own newspaper company. His sister suggested him an adventure for secret treasure. He bought a ship and gathered some crews and set off to the secret island to get a treasure.

 

Horrid Henry - Famous Series in U.K. as well. Henry is a horrid boy and he always mess up the whole things. He had a spectacular and wonderful idea when he was in trouble.

 

Magic Tree House - These are my favarite seriese. I started reading English book from these seriese. I trained read-aloud, read-through and volcabularies from these books. So I have read this book at least 3 times per one book.

The books gave me a common knowledge of a western culture, historical facts and greate people in history. I have read 60 books ever and my first goal was finish this series. 

 

Nate the great - Nate is a child detective and he was always given case from his friends. He ate pancakes with his dog sludge, when he got stuck on his case and the case would be solved.

 

Pachinko - The historical fiction that koreans who moved into japan in WW2. The koreans lived on severely under discrimination of japanese people.

 

Roald Dahl - Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Revolting Rhymes, Esio Trot, Fantastic Mr.Fox, James and the Giant Peach, Matilda, The Giraffe and the Pelly and Me, The Vicar of Nibbleswicke, The Witches.

Roald Dahl is a fantastic and marvelous author and story teller ever.

 

Seriously SILLY Stories - These books are funny stories from old fashioned fairy tales. I had enjoyed these series with my daughter Ella. 

Like 'Sleeping Beauty' to 'Bleeping Beauty' and 'Cinderella' to 'Cinder Boy'.

 

etc - Roscoe Riley Rules, The ZACK files, Winnie the Witch. 

 

 

All the books I've read was great. But I feel my reading skill is not that fast to learning English. I spent one week to finish one of Magic Tree House books.

Studying vocabularies of the book takes too much time and I have to fight againt my tiredness.  I can't help it.

But I want to read more and more books rapidly and continuosly without stopping. I believe this will give me a lot of inputs and that's a only way to be fluent in English.

So I came up with an idea. I'll read on many books rapidily whether I understand or not. If I read through books, the next day will be a studying day for vocabulary.
