I am a recent graduate and I would like to start reading because I feel like my English structure is slowly declining for some odd reason. I've been having a lot of trouble
spelling words incorrectly and would like to get rid of this habit. So any suggestions of books I should read as a starter. Books I've read over the years are :
Lord of the Flies, The Wars, The outsiders, Jade Peony, Great Gatsby. <--- I would prefer if you guys recommend me a book with a language level similar to these books I listed.

I am not a big reader and have never been, so reading has been a struggle to me my entire life. Any tips on keeping myself focus while reading because I tend to get distracted and bored very easily
Thanks :D

All Quiet on the Western Front, Old Man and the Sea.

Try some John Steinbeck (The Pearl, Of Mice and Men). A very interesting and "classic American" writer.
I don't know if Steinbeck would help with your declining English skills, as he uses a lot of improper grammar in his dialogue. However, maybe seeing poor grammar would help you know what not to say?

I'm drawing a blank, can't think of anything else like that. Was trying to think of stuff we had to read in school that I liked xD
