My first language is German, and in German I'm used to read rather complex texts. In English, this differs. For me, an abstract text is sometimes more easy to read than a novel. But this is based on the complexity of the sentence structure, and the vocabulary used. A victorian novel is too difficult for me, because of the vocabulary, combined with the indirect plot you'll often find in these novels.
The first novel of The Dresden Files seems to be rather easy to read for me. A lot of direct speech, rather short sentences and paragraphs, and contemporary vocabulary. And maybe this thread helps a bit to motivate me, too.
