Start with whichever you hear most in your life. If you watch American shows, read American authors (Hemingway, Fitzgerald). If your job involves UK English, read Brontë, Orwell, or contemporary British novels. Switching later is easy — the difference is mostly spelling and a few words.
Yes, more than you'd expect. Fiction teaches you how native speakers construct sentences, when to be direct vs. tactful, and how register shifts — all skills you need in emails and meetings. Mix in a non-fiction book (business memoir, long-form journalism) every few novels for vocabulary specific to your field.
Hemingway is famously readable — short sentences, common words. Orwell's <em>Animal Farm</em> is short and accessible. For more challenge, try Murakami in English translation, John Green's YA novels, or modern thrillers. Avoid Shakespeare or 19th-century British literature until advanced — they're great but the vocabulary is archaic.
