Solomon,
I like Lew Tolstoy Anna Karenina, I read it any time. It is always different.
And yesterday I found the English book, that I can read now:
The Canterville Ghost by Oscar Wilde.
I suggest we read together.
I write here.
I write fast:)
The Canterville Ghost
A haunted house.
Canterville Chase was an old country house in England.
When Mr HIram B. Otis, the rich American businessman, decided to buy it, everyone told him he was doing a very foolish thing. There was no doubt that the place was haunted. Even the owner, Lord Canterville himself, told Mr Otis about the ghost.

"We haver not lived in the place ourselves, " said Lord Canterville, "since my great-aunt went mad, which happened when two skeleton hands were placed on her shoulders one evening as she was having dinner. I must tell you, Mr Otis, that the ghost has been seen by several living members of my family. After the accident to my aunt, none of the younger servants would stay with us. And my wife, Lady Canterville, often got very little sleep at night, because of the strange noises that came from the corridor and the library.

Mr Otis, however, just laughed, and bought the house. A few weeks later he and his wife, their oldest son Washington, who was twenty, their fifteen-year-old daughter Virginia, and the twin boys, aged nine, moved in to Canterville Chase.
When they arrived at the house an old woman was waiting on the steps to meet them. This was Mrs Umney, the housekeeper. She had worked in the house for Lord and Lady Canterville.
"Welcome to Canterville Chase," she said, and took them through the house to the library for tea.
