German book recommendation

I'm looking for a non-complicated/verbose German book to improve my language. I'm currently learning with a tutor but that's going slowly and it's a crap ton of rules that are boring to learn.

 

My first language is Afrikaans so I can actually read and understand most German things just fine, I just want to improve my "feel" for speaking it as well as vocabulary. 

 

- I read most anything except lame romance novels

 

- Something available on Kindle would be awesome

German book? We all know who to pick there. The grimm brothers.

I'm actually reading the city mouse and field mouse thing with the tutor, but is that honestly a gripping and appealing story to you?

I don't know if it's on Kindle, but "Nichts was im Leben wichtig ist" is really interesting book. It talks about a bunch of kids trying to convince one other kid that life has signification. And it gets a bit messy

 

But it's not the best book, but I tought it was interesting analyzing its flaws n stuff. More like meta-reading

Couldn't find it, and I doubt local bookstores would have it in stock. Thanks for the recommendation though :).

 

would you perhaps know if Mein Kampf is worth reading?

No, it's full of flaws. There are more enlightening books.

Homo Faber is a good one. It's the story of an engineer that perceives humans as production machines and life as a series of statistics, but then discovers how random life actually is and how complex humans are.
