Answer 1

Classical novels can sometime be boring because of the use of language in the novels. Most of the novels are written decades ago and so, we might not be used to reading it. The most notable example is Shakespeare's works. Although reading these novels might be dull and boring, sometimes these novels contain excellent language features and plot development not to mention a great narration style. We can learn a lot from these classical novels and apply it into our writing. Everyone can think of a good story but few can write a good story. Reading of those classical novels is a great way to improve your writing skills.
