You can find some English books in China, but mostly Shakespeare and Jane Austen. Books are highly censored here so the selection is limited. If you visit coffee houses that have lots of foreigner customers, they usually have a book swap of books that other foreigners have "smuggled" in. Your best bet is to buy an e-reader and just download them.
