Our library is looking into developing a collection of books for adult English language learners to read and enjoy. I haven't had much luck with Baker & Taylor (which lists Stephen King as Hi/Lo!) and am not sure what other resources/vendors/publishers to try.
Do any of you have a collection of titles that you feel is satisfying to those adults wanting something easy to read that didn't come from the juvenile collection?</div>
