I would like to start reading books
Good morning guys.
Could anyone recommend some good book for me to read?
Not too of a hard book, though, please.

I'd say sciene fiction and horror--But the question is whether I'll be able to enrich my English by reading sciene fiction books? I don't want to speak like the Star Trek captain.
By the way, did I use whether properly in the last context?

Your 'whether' is OK.
Sci Fi is written in 20th/21st century English. There are few words used that are actually 'Trekkie'. The most important consideration is that you choose reading that interests you. A respected writer of good Sci Fi and good English is [url=http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/b

Thank you for your recommendation.
By the way, is it correct to write:
Recommend on?

Recommend onHard to say without a sentence. These are OK:
...best book you would recommend on typography
What book(s) would you recommend on discipline?
What do you recommend on a long weekend in Geneva?
...the European Commission will recommend on May 16 that Greece, Germany and Malta exit

Which Star Trek Captain do you not want to speak like -- Kirk? Picard? Commander Sisko? And why not? Apart from certain phrases (like "Make it so") they all speak pretty ordinary English.
But I agree that if you like science fiction, Ray Bradbury is a good place to start -- maybe with "The Martian Chronicles." Isaac Asimov wrote tons of science fiction -- short stories, novels, seri

For Horror, Stephen King is one of the most popular writers. (For a classic, try Edgar Allen Poe or H.P. Lovecraft)
The Shining is a good start, though I can't recall how difficult the language is.
I picked up a book by the publisher Penguin, they have a series of books arranged by the difficulty of text. Although the language you used makes it seem like you don't need a crutch.
