You're right! You do well!
Is it maybe ""Fifty shades of grey"?
It's my turn to quote you 
Non è vero che ti fermi quando invecchi, ma invecchi quando ti fermi.

I gave up and i searched it, but I won't spoiler it 
The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again: but already it was impossible to say which was which.

Ok. Another Pieces for the other people.
His hand grip my arms, but he releases me a moment after I stand upright again.
"Thank you" I say.
We stand in a platform ten feet above the ground.
around us is an Open cavern.
"can't Belive it", a voice says from behind him. It belongs to a dark - haired girl with three silver rings througt Her Right eyebrow. She smirks at me. "A Stiff, the first to Jump? Unheard of"
"There's a reason Why she left them. Lauren." He says.
his voice is deep, and it rumbles. "What's your name?
"Um... " I Don't Know Why I hesitate. But Beatrice" Just doesn't sound Right anymore.
"think about it" he says., a faint simile curling his lips. "you Don't get to pick again".
A New place, a new name. I can be remade here.
question:
which 's name Beateice choise?
this novel has a simple english. Good, for me.

I've read something more about this novel
And I've found it very interesting. It could be a future reading for me (in italian), because if I've to try to read something in English, I prefer to start with a novel thet I've already read in italian

two days ago I found Donna Leone's novel, Uniform Justice.
this is the incipit:
Thirst woke him. It was not the healthy thirst that follows three sets of tennis or a day spent skiing, thirst that comes of the body's desperate attempt to replenish liquids that have been displaced by alcohol.
after these words I thought: I know this thirst!
a question... is it normal repeat three times Thirst in the same sentence?

One month ago I became to watch movies in original language at the cinema.
My English is the same. Eh eh. All the movies have subtitles, so it's easy follow dialogues.
I wached:
The damish girl
The Room
Hail Caesar!
Bridge of spies
One royal night out
The Bridges of spies is in very simple english. Ok. I read the subtitles too, but Inside me I thinked " thiat level is easy!"

Why not?
The sentence describes a situation in a very clear way.

It could be right for me to re-start watching movies in original language ... if English or American of course.

Let me ask you a thing... have you noticed english films dubbed in italian sound different now? you can feel the dubbing even in the trailer, can't you?
