I'm trying to do this "extensive reading" thing to learn a new language.
Children's books are not interesting ofc., yield negligible results and don't have many pages anyway.
I'm thinking I should read translations of books that use notoriously simple language, to give me the best new-words to-known-words -ratio.
Maybe something like translations of the worst Warhammer 40k novels would be a good bet?
Harry Potter, maybe?
Learning Czech btw.
