Thing about Sweet Dreams is not the boy-meets-girl or classroom-crush thing. It is about how easy it is to enjoy the titles, even when your English is poor. Believe it or not but my dad took me to a run-down book store in Ipoh back then in 1991 and there he let the shopkeeper recommend some books for me, the one who gets a red mark for English at school.
Putting a Tolkien down, the bookworm rummaged through a section of the nearby shelf and pulled me a few Sweet Dreams book. She said she enjoys reading them too (she's a lovely looking Indian lady which thick spectacles and a few greying hair) and I should try it.
True enough, now that I'm in my 30s, I still pick up an old Sweet Dreams from time to time, and they still provide me that relaxed reading I crave after a chapter of The World is Flat 2.0 (on which I'm still struggling to get to Chapter 4).
Whenever I've reread my Sweet Dreams title a little too often, I go for projects reading at Webook.com. This site has a bunch of aspiring writers loading up their work for others to review. Currently I'm waiting for Fairy_Lucky_Me's Chapter 35 of Falling For Adam, which I have bookmarked since several months back.
Now be informed that these writers are not as good as published authors, but for a good, relaxing read over desk lunch, these are good enough.
