reading dictionaries is more interesting than reading some dull novels? I found that reading dictionaries is more interesting than reading some dull novels that we sometimes call "classical".I have never been to outside world,I learn western knowledge only from books and indirect media.up to now,I still can't think in western way of thinking which I found is unsurmontable barrier for me to cross.reading dictionaries is quite different experience,I can enjoy the beauty of words and its differenct usages,but reading novels needs a lot of preparations,first,you should have some ideas of foreign cultures and you should know deep background and history behind the stories,sometime you have to know a little bit of the Bible which will help you understand their quere insights about the attitude of life and doing things.secondly, you have to go abroad in order to know nuince of different shade of life.all in all, there are many things to learn behind the novels you read.
