What to read?

Reading - the best teaching. Stop! Do not throw to read the article, twisting his finger to his temple with the words: "And so we know, Captain Obvious." It's not that it is necessary to read literature in a foreign language, it's obvious. The trick in finding this literature itself. It is not necessary to take the classics, famous literary masterpieces and other good books that you would be happy to read in their native language. Take a sharp consumer goods one of his favorite genres: detective, drama, jokes, love story, in the end, there is nothing to be ashamed of. Enjoy the beauty of the classics of world literature is still a language can not be a mediocre knowledge. Only upset.

But entertaining reading with a cheerful story and simple designs will go with a bang. Anticipating the very salt of the anecdote, the denouement of the bloody drama or the appearance of a new lover seductress Leopoldina, and you will not notice how to guess about half of you unfamiliar words from context. And if you do not understand something in this literature, it is not a shame, because it is unlikely that the loss will be great.
