    as noted, they can't but help your spelling, grammar, and diction. other books might be better choices, however. if you like romance, try, "wuthering heights", or, "jane eyre". if you like mysteries, the sherlock holmes novels of arthur conan doyle are light and enjoyable. in any genre, you can find books that are edifying AND a pleasure to read. stick with those.

    Yes. Moste definitely. You should have something to contrast with what is accepted as "good" literature, so you know how to tell which is which.

    Personally, I don't see anything wrong with reading whatever you want. I'm an English major; I do nothing but read so-called classics, and love them; but man, you need some junk food once in a while.

    First of all, if you are going to post questions about books, in general, you should learn to spell. Second, if you really do know how to spell, you need to know how to spell the authors' names. I don't think 'Hariold' is the man's name, I am pretty sure it is 'Harold Robbins'.

  • Also try Anne Rice, Laurell K Hamilton, Annette Curtis Klaus, Edith Hamilton and anything you feel like?

    Reading literature of any description will benefit your reading skills and ultimately, your vocabulary, grammar and punctuation.
