I have not. Tried getting into some Tolkien stuff (The Lord of The Rings specifically) and oh boy the grammar was hard for me as a person whose first language is not English.

​

I've gotta check out the other authors you've mentioned however! I'll see if I can find one fit with my English level

​

Thanks for responding!

Great quote!

Right! Helps you concentrate more and generally good for your brain.

Thanks for your response!

Well non-fiction stories happen in the real world, and could even be potentially pragmatic.

But then, we also have educational books (not books on a subject necessarily) and self-help books, which are to some extent beneficial

>Also, I don't really understand why you would call out "web novels andcliche stuff" as being insufficient texts for any of this kind oflearning.

Mainly because they don't have rich grammar, a lot of them use machine translation, and *most* of the authors in the web novel area aren't essentially proficient in English, which is well... Not my thing.

​

There might be great web novels out there, but from the ones I've read, they haven't captured my attention. But guess that's on my part :P

​

Additionally, you mentioned an extremely important point of reading; Unless you read with the goal to improve, you won't improve. Couldn't have said it better myself! I can definitely see that! Valid point!

Thank you for responding!

Honestly, that's right on and a very good point! I personally find myself watching YouTube videos for hours, learning scantily, and maybe not even learning anything at all! I presume books would be the best replacement for that as an entertainment at the minimum. I appreciate you spending the time on reading this post and responding!

Ah, without a doubt! Reading in general can indeed improve your imagination, it's generally a very healthy way to have fun, and depending on what you read, you might need to think! Thanks for your response in advance! Good points

Ah so it's mostly the language aspect. Actually didn't think of that.

So other than the language-learning part, it's, at least for the most part, just for entertainment I guess. Which is also great considering you're getting entertained while improving your grammar/vocabulary

Thanks a bunch for putting time in on reading my post and responding!
