I used Harry Potter as my first Spanish book :) I recommend it!

  Yes! Rereading a (good) book you've already read is an excellent learning technique. (Mine was Dune.) Your foreknowledge provides plenty of context, something which is often lacking in more artificial exercises.

  I'll second the Harry Potter books -- I've been reading the Sorcerer's Stone (electronically) in Portuguese after working through Duolingo. It's nice because I am familiar with the story and there's loads of new vocabulary, which I look up (after guessing) by switching to a translation app. If you're on iOS, the built-in dictionary app will give you Spanish->English.

    What translation app do you use (unless it's the built-in one)?
