Reading+for+Pleasure

Here are some reading ideas for you, but it is best if you pick out your own books to read. I will keep adding to this list. So look for new entries from time to time. Plan to visit the Alameda County Library or a bookstore and pick out some books that interest you. You might talk to a librarian and ask if they can help you. When you find a book you are interested in, try to read a page of it. If you find many words that you do not know on one page, then you will need to try an easier book. You may want to try non-fiction books as well. You can look these books up on Amazon and "look inside" and there will be a description of what the book is about. You do not have to purchase the book, but you can request it on the Alameda County Library website.
