well... it depends on what kind of books do you like? let's see... you can try books by Meg Cabot. some of my favourites are Avalon High, Teen Idol, and Size 12 is Not Fat. her books are always funny, and the language is easy enough to understand. but maybe too easy though, you may not find a lot of new vocabularies.
have you heard of the Twilight series? sangat famous sekarang- the object of obsession for a lot of teenage girls recently. in fact, it's movie is coming out end of this year. but don't be intimidated by the thickness of the books, bahasa dia tak susah sangat.
i've heard twilight series so many times..die tebal ee???mesti mahal...ni y nk kene bodek mama neh..eheh...i'll try to find those y you bagitau...thanx

Buku no. 1 dia standard price. Dalam 35.50. Lepas tu harga dia naik dalam seringgit dua macam tu sampai jadi 49.90 untuk Book 4. Perhaps in time harga dia akan turun.
Though if you went to the MPH warehouse sale last time, you'd get a very good price. I bought no. 4 for 32.50. rrp 49.90. hehehe
Returning back to your question, how about Jeffrey Archer and Sidney Sheldon?
I tak berani nak recommend buku, sebab it all depends on what sort of content / genre you like. Tapi yes, it's always easier to start with YA (young adult) books. Or, cari chick lit, selalunya content tak berapa berat. Senang baca, senang paham.:) Happy trails!
haha.. twilightmum? ok, let me rephrase my sentence: Twilight- the object of obsession of the FEMALE community :)yep... lagi baik start dengan YA or chick lit. but out of those two, I think YA generally has better language.
hurmm..so many suggestion..but these few days i've settled reading chronicles of narnia (prince caspian and the first book - lion,witch,wardrobe...quite easy to understand but when it come to conversation among them, agak susah sket..bahase istana lame la katekan...i want to find twilight series next..everybody seems to like it
btw..kat rumah ade buku2 sidney sheldon cause my sis is a big fan of him...ari tu try bace..tp quite boring laa..and a little bit hard to understand...tp tu lebey kurang past few years laa..ms tu english mmg kiok...skang ok sket kot..so i'll try to read it again
novel by Danielle Steel is not too difficult....so i suggest to try read that book....

Sidney Sheldon's are pretty easy, too. So are Jeffrey Archer's novels.

Or am I wrong?

Xnak try Harry Potter series? Bahasanya mudah dan ceritanya best. At least best from book 1 until book 4 lah. Lagi best baca buku dr tgk filem. If you like classics, try The Secret Garden, A Little Princess (both by Frances Hodgson Burnett) and also Anne of Green Gables.
Newer favorites of mine: Ella Enchanted and also A Single Shard. Both are children books :)

Love the movie though very very much. "But Ella Enchanted the movie is very different from the book right? I didn't watch it, but I've read the review. The book is great, though. So don't give up, keep searching. chaiyok2! lol.

I'm afraid my reaction will be "What! That's not what happened!" or "Why on earth did they cut that part?!" At least that's what I thought while watching Harry Potter movies.. lol.
To Faizah, keep searching! The one I bought was the only copy left at Kinokuniya. Guess I was lucky.

For me, the first book (Anne of Green Gables) is always the best, right? And I love The Secret Garden! Still dreaming of creating such 'secret' garden myself, ha. No such luck yet.
Well, I love children and YA books, so I always end up recommending them to people...

I usually try to read the book beforehand. It's sort of becoming an obsession. I HAVE to make sure that my imagination is not ruined by the movie.
Suppose I was not so lucky with Ella Enchanted. However since the movie is likable to my standards, reading the book must be better.
I'll keep searching. Thanks. It's good to know the book is much like here in Goodreads.
Mod
Agreed. However, Anne of Windy Poplars is my favourite. The way she handles those stuck-ups Pringles is admirable! Honestly, all of them are interchangeably my favourites.
I discover the joy of reading The Secret Garden novel a bit too late. Yet, I'm glad I eventually got it. Better late than never ;-p
