My thoughts after reading an English book

Well, personally, I don't really like English books as what I perceive about them is that they are usually very lengthy, boring, and difficult to read, which makes me not want to read them, as I am a lazy person. (Thats why I have never ever read any English books this year unless it was compulsory for me to read it) Well, perhaps I was really wrong... This year, I had only read some comics, or read books like To Kill a Mockingbird and The Merchant of Venice as it is compulsory for me to read them. However, just recently, I read a book called "The Village by the Sea" which completely changed my opinions

Well, actually, I had borrowed this book from the library during last term's sabbatical week as it was compulsory for me to find an English book to read during the reading period in that week. So, I went to the library and applied what Ms Huang told us and managed to get this book. Firstly, I went ahead to find books with the author called Anita Desai or Kiran Desai (She once told us about these authors), and I found two books, one by Anita Desai and another by Kiran Desai. Of course I looked at the book that seemed way smaller (The other book had like at least a few times its thickness) first.. I flipped to some random pages and read it (We were told to do that). There were some words which I didn't understand after flipping a few pages, and the story looks rather simple, and so I borrowed it.

After I borrowed it, I read it during the reading periods. As I am an extremely slow reader, I barely managed to finish reading almost half of the book after reading it for about 2 hours (Each reading period was roughly from 7.40 am to 8.20 am, I forgot to bring a book on Monday and brought The Merchant of Venice (I couldn't understand any part of it at that time) on Tuesday).

Well, I forgot to finish reading the book later on and forgot to return it as well. When, I came back to school for the first time during the holidays, I forgot to bring the book, and the library was closed the second time I came back to school due to some meeting. I finally remembered to return it on the first week of school this term, and was fined $1.80. Well, I suddenly thought about the book about two weeks ago and decided to borrow it again, and finish reading it. Well, honestly speaking, I found it quite interesting the second time I read it. Perhaps I should change my attitude from now on and start reading books to improve my English.
