Man, how disingenuous can someone be to recommend the Bible to someone who wants to improve their language skills? Anyway, as far as the kinds of books you should read, I recommend reading whatever you find to be fun. If you liked Tuesdays try other books by the same author. Amazon lists these as having been purchased by people who also purchased Tuesdays:

# The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom
# Morrie: In His Own Words by Morrie Schwartz
# The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd
# Life of Pi by Yann Martel

Start or join a book group. Choose some sort of topic each month and read it regardless if that type of book would be something you would have chosen or not. Book Groups challenge all participates, whether it be their reading skills or expanding on everyone's knowledge.

I have been in a book group for only 3 years now, and wow! I have learned so much and I am sure my reading skills have improved. We read English books, but that includes books written by English (not American) authors as well as foreign languages translated into English.

Good Luck to you!

Honestly, the book that helped develop my vocabulary and reading skills the most was the Bible. I am not kidding. Some of the easiest and most contemporary versions are the new international version and the new living version.

A few other books you might want to consider that aren't extremely complicated are:
Little Women by Louisa May Alcott
The Locket by Richard Paul Evans
A Gown of Spanish Lace by Janette Oke
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith
Christy by Catherine Marshall
The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck
No Promises in the Wind by Irene Hunt
The Diary of Anne Frank
The autobiography of Rosa Parks

Actually you may have improved your vocabulary but your spelling is atrocious. So maybe what you should be reading is books that improve not only your vocabulary but your spelling at the same time. Or you could study more in English class until you get to the point that when you do write something, you will be able to form a complete sentence without any misspellings and still be understood.

I agreed with the guy who said classic literature. They use great language. Try "The Count Of Monte Cristo" by Alexadre Dumas. Also try "The Scarlett Letter."

To really improve your language I personally think old, classic literature is the best. Try "Tess of the D'Urbervilles" by Thomas Hardy, "Jane Eyre" by Charlotte Bronte or "Far From the Madding Crowd" also by Thomas Hardy. Classics, I love them.
