I hate Novels

But for special purposes, I never read novels. I could even count the books I had ever read. In my primary school, I read the first novel in my life, The Count of Monte Cristo. Of course, it’s a simplified version. And it’s about six years later I read novel again. That’s was about my 11th grade. Because I need to read more to improve my English. I bought many English novels (simplified versions again), including David Copperfield, Jane Eyre, Oliver Twist. It’s about more than 20 masterpieces. Now I could hardly believe that I read so many novels. Honestly speaking, I do love these novels and I got my English proved by reading these. But it could not stop me from hating reading novels. I prefer reading some abstract textbooks. Recently, I am required to read a novel The dew breaker. Another novel! And a novel which I never heard before, and a novel whose chapters are barely connected. Anyway, I have to read it. Such a burden.
