You got a hard time reading? I mean like, got problem with 'big' words and such and complicated twists and intrigues?

Anyways you could try something by David Gemmell (The Rigante series and Drenai Series are superb) and David Eddings

not that difficult grammaticly but still really good reads

As a beginner...

Here are a few:

From the Earth to the Moon by Jules Verne (Short read but very enjoyable)
The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien (Set before the Lord of the Rings series)
Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll (Don't laugh, this is actually a good book)

The Call of Cthulhu and Other Weird Stories by H.P. Lovecraft is a great read but may be difficult to read

Anything by J.R.R. Tolkien but I recommend reading then in this order
1. Silmarillion (Only read this if you are interested in the lore behind the Lord of the Rings)
2. The Hobbit
3. The Lord of the Rings trilogy which begins with Fellowship of the Ring, followed by The Two Towers, and ended with The Return of the King.

There are more Tolkien books that have to do with the lore such as The Children of Hurin but I recommend the others first

Now Tolkien is the best fantasy writer hands down, but if you want a runner up try R.A. Salvatore his fight scenes are amazing.
I recommend reading the homeland series first followed by the crystal shard book and you can find out the order from there

Happy Reading :)
