I have to read texts everyday in the school,that is boring,because the books are very difficult to understand and there are no storyes any more.So after class i will borrow some novels and magazines to read.The stores in these books are very interesting. The novel i like best is the love stores,they are always romantic.And other stores that can make people feel relax or laugh out. The last,what kinds of novels do you like?

Hi there huaihuai! I like reading novels. I started reading novels when I was in 6th grade. They are indeed very interesting. I like non-fiction novels. I also like romantic novels. Autobiographies are also nice.

yep i'm one of those who enjoy reading novels too. love and action or mystery should be in it. even if it's thriller, so long as love is in, then it's for me. so you can say we're similar. hehe it can get boring in school, what with reading school books and all especially if you don't have the interest. which i'm sure, many students don't. thus novels for me can help to lighten up my mind. and kudos to the authors that they're able to write up such amazing stories.

I love to read and find that I don't much time any more since I spend so much time on the computer. I have even gotten away from Mylot lately doing other things. I like to read different books at different times, but always like love stories. I like mysteries and books about people's lives. I also like autobiographies of famous people, depending on the person.

I always loved fantasy or sci-fi novels and stories, they let me create a different world from the harsh realties of life. also, stories involving fairies/faeries always have a spot in my heart, they really are rather intriguing and i can't help but be amazed at the many different ways authors portray these little people. Love stories are also one of my personal faves, it's exciting in its own ways. :)

In spite of being on the computer, I do read. I have read a couple of non-fiction books but not storybooks such as novels.I guess, it depends on the season. Then you may want to read a good novel just to change the tempo of life. To enter into a fantasy world of make-belief. To play hero in the novel as you relive his exploits. then, when yuo finish reading the novel, you return once more to the real world.

I have yet to revive my habit of reading novels. It was my favorite pastime when I was younger and still single. I like reading romantic novels. I don't want to stop reading till I finish the whole novel. Also, I like reading mystery and suspense novels. They make me feel thrilled and excited to know what happens next.

I like science fiction novels best, they make me think and think new ways too. I enjoy the way they simulate my mind. I also like mysteries, but my favorite kinds are the cozy ones where the people become like friends and its a visit with old friends more than the mystery that drives the story.

I like to read in the winter months and in the summer time when I relaxing in the sun. I usually read romance novels, but I also like to read biographies about interesting people. Like Frank McCourt I fell in love with his book Angelas Ashes years ago.

Hi huaihuai, I just like reading I would read almost any thing really but I most love adventures, science fiction, and any thing that is out of the ordinary, I really like to read stories from the past and I like to wonder how did these people survived some times in such terrible circunstances and it make me think that human beings are such a resilient race.

I enjoy reading novels of all sorts and I am actually a very avid reader of novels. I've been reading them since I learned to read well enough to read a book that was longer than 20 to 30 pages. I don't have a specific genre of novel that I enjoy reading more than the other types, I will read them all. For example, the last novel that I read was a drama genre novel and when I finished that one, the next novel that I picked up is a mystery novel. I don't really care as long as I have something to read.

I love to read - novels and everything else! I like how novels let you use your imagination to picture everything. A lot of times when a new movie comes out that is based on a novel, I read a copy of the novel before (or sometimes instead of) seeing the movie. In my opinion, movies rarely live up to the book, with a few exceptions. Anyway, my favorites are just general fiction... I like historical fiction, funny books, and books that have something sort of wacky/off-beat going on in them. I like deep thinking characters and philosophical themes. But I also like children's novels and the occassional romance or vampire book. Anyone read Ishmael by Daniel Quinn? Or Wicked by Gregory McGuire? They're a couple of my favorites. :)

hi huaihuai^^;; i love to read novels but got no time to do it now. i like to read novels written by John Grisham and have several collections of his books so far, mostly legal thrillers and courtroom dramas. it is all magnificently written and i can't let down the book once i started. There's always a twist and a laugh in every page. I like other books too like suspense thriller and detective stories as long as the main characters are smart and quick-witted to solve the mysteries.. i'll try grabbing a new book if i have a chance

I really enjoy reading novel. A lot of my friends accuse me as 'wasting time on some thick papers with unexplained statements printed on it'. =) I really understand what their point is, but for me reading novel is an alternative way to express your hobby. I know we get no money after finish reading novel, but it gives me another pleasure that money can't buy me one. Especially thriller novels, when adventure appears on every single sentence. Sometimes my heart beats a little bit faster and can't wait to turn to next page.

Yes,very much so. I am debating whether or not I want to read a 1000+ page book about a fictional vampire but i haven't really read about vampires from prospectives other than European ones so I think it will make for a great read. I prefer longer books since hey usually tie everything up nicely and every character usually haves a resolution of some kind.

I'm so glad there's an E-book reader built in to phones now because I can read my list of books to read before I die. Hehe. Currently I'm reading Orwell's 1984. I'm not into love stories very much although when I was younger, I did enjoy reading them and pretending that I'm the heroine or something. These days I like reading from different genres. I had to read Harry Potter of course, the characters there have become like real people to me and all. I have nothing against pop lit. I haven't read any Cuelho yet so I already downloaded a few of his ebooks after I finish up 1984.

I only go for a few types of genre - suspense, mystery, magical world (Harry Potter), chic lit, coming of age and humor. I find myself bored when I read those of heavy literature stuff or war. I prefer something light and I have been buying so many books to keep myself busy. I am inspired by good stories and dislike putting down or finding a story ends when I read a good book.

I love to read novels. I especially like mystery novels or espionage novels. My favorite author right now is David Baldacci. He writes a lot of novels about the underground society's in and around Washington D.C. Most of his books are continuations of previous novels, so sometimes I'm already familiar with the characters at the beginning of the book. My two favorites by David B. are "Simple Genius" and "Stone Cold" I also like to read non-fiction, but it has to be about something or someone that I'm interested in. I read "Hell's Angels" by Hunter S. Thompson. This was a real-life account that he wrote about after riding with the Hell's Angel's biker gang back in the 60's. It was very insightful, and scary at times.
