English Text Advice

[dverma05]

Hey All,
I am currently in Year 11 and I am looking for ways to improve my vocabulary.
I've heard that reading different texts is always the best way to improve vocab...but I was wondering if there are any good texts that I should read which would really help me enhance my vocab?
Your help would be very appreciated

I reckon Stephen King was pretty good in that regard. I've also heard people read Charles Dickens before standardised tests to improve on English skills. Dunno how effective that is but he's a pretty amazing writer to learn from, vocab and all. (Start with an easy one. Lol)
The most important thing is just to look up the words you don't know and keep track of them in your phone.  Sounds easy but I guarantee you'll be lazy enough to skip a word or two. Just minimise the lazy and your vocab will expand :p
