Yes, but my recommendation is to look for a book that is of your complete liking, and if possible, be a book that has already been read in English, and completely loved.

Encontré esta página web la cual oferta libros digitales gratuitos

Yo prefiero que mis libros son digitales porque puedo imprimirlos y hay mucho espacio en el papel para escribir las traducciones
Lee un libro que está a tu altura de compresión. In other words, read a book that you would read in English.

I do not think you would willingly read in English a kid's book nowadays, just because you want to read "something". Right?

As above...

Read something that is of your REAL interest, and make it a novel.

For example: if you like to read about WII, don't just read a book about it, because the book will relate most likely stuff from the war giving figures , dates etc, whereas a novel about the war will mix LIFE. Love, adventure, sensations, feelings etc... a world of descriptions, which is how our mind works...
