If you want to read a novel try instruments of the night by Thomas H. Cook, the only decent crime one i know
Tip: when you reach the ending read it thoroughly because you might find it confusing, but just remember who took care of the house while he was gone (not a spoiler at all, has nothing to do with the main story)
But i think you should first try short stories, i recommend you argentine ones

Steinbeck’s novellas are good for a beginner, especially Cannery Row
Dumas books are good to get you reading longer books, if you can’t into french read the robin buss translations they’re very good

Musashi is a nice book with which to get into reading because it is very long ~1000 pages, a great story, and extremely readable.
