Can you recommend some mountaineering fiction books for beginners?

Sure. 'Touching the Void' by Joe Simpson. This book is about Simpson's and his climbing partner's ill - fated attempt on Siula Grande in the Peruvian Andes. It's a harrowing tale of survival against all odds and has been made into a very popular documentary as well.

Sure. 'Peak' is a great one. It's about a teen's journey to climb Everest. Then there's 'The Ascent' which is all about teen mountaineers in the Alps. And 'Climb to the Sky' is also worth reading for its story of teen mountaineering.

Another good one is 'Annapurna' by Maurice Herzog. It tells the story of the first successful ascent of Annapurna in the French Himalayan Expedition of 1950. It's a classic in mountaineering literature, with Herzog's vivid descriptions of the harsh conditions and the mental and physical challenges.

One popular mountaineering fiction book is 'The Ascent' which tells an exciting story of a climber's journey up a dangerous peak. Another is 'Summit of Dreams' that combines elements of adventure and self - discovery on the mountains.

Well, 'Peak' is really good. In this book, the main character, Peak, has to face not only the physical difficulties of climbing Everest but also family and personal issues. It gives a great look into the world of teen mountaineering. 'The Ascent' is more about the teamwork and friendship among the young climbers in the Alps. They learn a lot about themselves and each other while conquering the mountains. 'Climb to the Sky' focuses on a teen's self - discovery while on a mountaineering expedition. It shows how the mountains can be a place for personal growth.

Sure. 'Animal Farm' by George Orwell is quite beginner - friendly. It uses animals on a farm to represent different political ideologies, making it an interesting read for those new to fiction. Another option is 'A Wrinkle in Time' by Madeleine L'Engle. It combines science fiction elements with a coming - of - age story. Also, 'The Secret Garden' is a charming book that tells about the transformation of a young girl in a magical garden, which is easy to follow for beginners.

You could also try 'The Ministry for the Future' by Kim Stanley Robinson. While it has some complex ideas about climate change and the future, it's presented in a way that's easy to follow. It gives a good introduction to how science fiction can be used to explore real - world issues in a speculative way.

For beginners, I'd recommend 'Coraline' by Neil Gaiman. It's a relatively short and engaging story about a girl who discovers a parallel world through a door in her new house. But this other world has a very sinister side. It's not overly gory or complex, making it suitable for those new to scary fiction. 'Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children' by Ransom Riggs is also a good choice. The old photographs in the book add an extra layer of creepiness, and the story of the children with special abilities in a strange home has some scary elements. 'The Girl from the Well' by Rin Chupeco is a bit more on the creepy side, with a vengeful spirit as the main character, but it's still accessible for new readers.

Sure. 'The Vanishing Half' is a good start. It has an engaging plot that's easy to follow about twin sisters. 'Hamnet' is also great as it has a clear narrative about Shakespeare's family. The language in both books isn't overly complicated, making them accessible for beginners.

For beginners, 'The Great Gatsby' is a great choice. It's not too long and has a really engaging story about Jay Gatsby's pursuit of Daisy Buchanan, set against the backdrop of the wealthy in the 1920s. Another good one is 'Mrs. Dalloway'. It's easy to follow in terms of the basic plot, which is about a day in the life of Clarissa Dalloway, and it gives a good sense of the social and cultural atmosphere of the time.
