Yes I read IT in English as it is not my first language I finished IT in around 1 and a half months but the journey was great…Yeah I know there were always words that I don't know in every page but I got whole context of the book…I absorbed around 80% of the book…Not that 20% because I didn't read the Mike interlude that was tooo boring for me and there were some word and sentences that I didn't understand and didn't bother to search it but anyway I understand the whole book and if any english man will ask me what happend there and what happend there I will tell unless he asks about Mike interlude…I will improving my English by reading more books…My next read is A game of thrones!…By the way if you have not read IT I will definitely recommend to read it…If I who don't know much english can enjoy that book then English man why you can't ?

That’s awesome dedication! Reading a book like “IT” in your second language is a major accomplishment. Don’t worry too much about the parts that were a bit tough—every book has those moments. Keep reading and enjoying stories in English; it’s a great way to keep improving. Best of luck with “A Game of Thrones”—another epic choice!
Stephen King was among the first authors I read in English as a second language, back in the 90s. I like them well for that, he writes clearly but challenging enough to learn and if you like his storytelling there is a lot to enjoy.
Reading books is a great way to learn, I hope you enjoy many more! Game of thrones is likely to work well for you too!
