Anything that interests me, it can be a novel or a short story. But i usually read or hunt for books by my favorite authors because i already know that their works are good. But i also try on other authors, specially if recommended by friends.

I enjoy reading many different types of genres. However, I prefer reading novels over short stories. It does happen that I may read a short story, but I was always more into novels, for some reason.

I love reading novels with lots of chapters and pages, though short stories are nice to read also. There’s lot of short stories that are really good to read. For me as long as it is a good one to read to, I will read it.

I prefer novels. I'm not that fond of short stories, unless they're really novellas, because, just as you start getting into them, you reach the end.

Hi, I like both novels and short stories, though I find short stories easier to read; you can reach the conclusion faster.

when i was in high school i also can reading any kind of reading materials no matter it is a novel or short stories.but now i choose short stories.for one reason,reading a long novel needs more time.for another,i am not as patient as before to reading long novels.

I also like to read. I like both novel an short stories. As long as it is interesting to read, I will read it. Sometimes, I can read four novel in a day. I won't stop reading until I finish reading. I like to read when I am free and waiting for someone. I don't like to waste my time.

Novel. :). A simple word it may seem, carries great power. Anything capable of influencing the mind, instilling emotions, endowing noble feelings and presenting realities and genuine ideas is powerful. :)
