Do you like reading novels?

Post Reply New Topic

Do you like reading novels, in general, or do you prefer other types of literature (poetry, drama, short stories etc.)? How many novels would you say you read per year? And do you usually buy them or borrow them from the library?

I love novels. I can't say I prefer them to other types of writing or not. The form should suit the story. Hard to say how many I read each year. 5-10 depending on whatever other things I'm reading. I tend to buy used books. I like to write my comments in my books.

I have more books than I have shelves to put them on.

I like reading novels. I usually prefer them to non-fiction, but that's not always the case.

I like reading comics also, they're a lot faster to read, but obviously there's a different appeal there.

I don't read as many books as I used to...I need to make time for them again.

I do read novels, but not as much as I used to, so I need to make more time for them again.

@ Brother HL: If you ever visit Portland, there is large bookstore called Powell's where you can buy new or used books. In fact, you can sell used books and buyers will pay you.

I love novels. I haven't read anything in a long time but I'm getting back into the habit of it.

It happens from time to time, unless it's available on DVD and got good reviews.

Don't like books that gets too reworked in movies too far from the original story.

Yes but this year it's been mainly works written for free on sites throughout the internet. I may finish only one published non manga this year.

While I do enjoy novels, I think most of the time I like reading anthologies of short fiction.

Yes. I read 2-3 books each week. Sometimes more.

I read about 50 books a year, with some as repeats. They're usually 19th Century British fiction and poetry, literary criticism, or biographies about writers. Some are social histories. I buy 99% of my books.

I used to like novels a lot more. Nowadays I seem to prefer non-fiction for some reason.
