I will answer this question instantly - Uncle Tom's cabin. I believe it's a great book, showing all aspects of slavery and really thoughtful. I enjoyed reading every single page of it and will certainly do so again in the near future. I recommend the book to anybody who's in the process of learning the language or is possibly willing to read something they have missed before.

Another good book is Farewell to Arms, by Hemingway. I've read it on one take, it's that interesting. It's so dramatic, real and meaningful at the same time.

It certainly is easy to speak. Now at what level it is being spoken is a whole different question.

The media now-a-days popularises it so much that it is almost impossible for a teenager, or even a kid, not to know, at the very least, a few words. I believe that English is in the air and everybody can learn, the basics, if not proper English, with time.

"If one has an imaginary friend, it's called insanity. If multiple people have the same imaginary friend it's called religion." - The Internet

"..If you are successful, you win false friends and true enemies. Succeed anyway...." - Kent M. Keith

Definitely two of the most inspirational quotes I've seen. Both made me think a lot about the world in general and the situation I'm in right now. They motivate me to improve myself, I hope they have the same effect on you as well.
