So english is not my native language and these books are not translated to mine and I’ve been thinking if Im’m even gonna be able to read them. My level of english is not bad, I’d be able to communcicate with anyone I guess, I know some slang language around the world. But are these books filled with very hard language or syntax that will be very tough to get through?

(Also, I’m not sure if this post belongs in this sub, so feel free to point that out, and if you’re familiar with any other subreddit that I could turn to, I’d be thankful!)

    I think you’re in the correct subreddit, there’s often queries about English-language books from non-native speakers.

    As for those two, I’ve read American Psycho and it doesn’t have too difficult a vocabulary for a non-native speaker. However, there are a few sections where the character is high on/coming down from drugs and can ramble incoherently. But these don’t take away from the enjoyment and comprehension of the story I feel.
