@humaiqbal,
What kind of books do you like? Romance? Horror? Adventure? Mystery? Are you a child who would do better reading a children's book?

^ This question needs to be repeated.

What genre of books would you be interested in? Historical? Science fiction?

We can rule out experimental as it appears that you are trying to learn English and these overly complicated books would be a hindrance rather than a help.

For now? The below are the top 100 public domain* books where you can legally download them from this site as they have been
Top 100 EBooks yesterday

*Works in the public domain are those whose exclusive intellectual property rights have expired, have been forfeited, or are inapplicable.

I'll recommend the following from said site:

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll
Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain
Dracula by Bram Stoker
Frankenstein; Or, The Modern Prometheus by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
The Count of Monte Cristo, Illustrated by Alexandre Dumas
The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson
The Mysterious Affair at Styles by Agatha Christie
Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad

@humaiqbal,
One of my favorites from grade school was Les Miserables. There's a good lesson in the story.

I recently tried to re-read The Count of Monte Cristo, but i just couldn't manage it. One of the problem with 19th century novels was that they were serialized in magazines, so the finished product was often way too long--in my never humble opinion.

One of the best novels in the English language is Vanity Fair, by William Makepeace Thackeray. I recently read it again after more than 40 years, and thought even more highly of it than i did then.
