you're not going to learn proper english here.
Consiguete un buen libro de gramática, libros de poesía en bilingüe, etc. Si tienes un kindle puedes incorporar vocabulario con el diccionario. Dependiendo de cual sea tu nivel, puedes probar re-leyendo en inglés libros que leíste en castellano.

His prose is simple and themes are relevant.
Also consider Steven King.
The Shining, The Stand, and Gunslinger are simple and entertaining enough to keep you engaged.

no it's trash, but it's probably a good entry level english book for esl learners.
im spanish todo. I learnt english basically by reading. You should start reading modern essays on topics like economics or politics. Also look for issues of The Economist in your local library, its useful because they use an upper average vocabulary

You faggots are going to make him use words that haven't been used in casual conversation since Andrew Jackson paid a village to eat 2000lbs of cheese because his wife bitched about the smell.
Charles Dickens in general, James Joyce's short stories for sounding well, and Thomas Pynchon for net-speak. Also instead of learning modern English grammar, start from the ground up with Anglo-Saxon for a more encompassing understanding.
