John Scalzi has an easy, straightforward writing style which never gets in the way of the story.

For someone learning English, the biggest problem in SFF would be weird names. English speakers have enough trouble with them. I can recommend:
The Time Shifters Chronicles by Shanna Lauffey The Rebel of the Sands series by Alwyn Hamilton The Sword of Shannara by Terry Brooks |

An essential word to learn is 'Grok'. Any science fiction Fantasy fan needs to know that one. It's basically to fully understand something and comes from a classic science fiction novel, Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert A. Heinlein. |
