At my Swedish course teacher gave us a list of books, which she thinks are good, and we were supposed to choose one of them. Of course, using a book in your native tongue as a crutch may not appeal to everyone, but it is a convenient and almost pain-free way to ease yourself into reading in a foreign language.

I’ve been buying books when I’m there or having people send them to me. at least you have a general idea about what you are reading and what s going on in the book . It’s been 30 years since I studied the language in any depth, so it’s been thrilling to pick it up again.
