I think it is not wrong to prefer a Novel than a book. When someone reads a novel it isn't just a book but a whole new scenario where we meet new characters and places.

For example: The Invisible Man , if you ll read that you ll be seeing new scenarios being created again and again.

Coming to how can we make reading books as our habit. well it is my personal experience and don't know if it ll work with others , I have a reading partner and so i am not alone while reading books.

But yes it is my personal solution as i don't like reading books all the time I listen to my partner reading it sometime for me and i does the same for her sometime as well. 😊💛
