I'm reading Cat's Eye written by Margaret Atwood

LIke most girls, I loved stories and still do. So when I decided to join the Book Club this term, I didn't expect to have a hard time reading a novel. Rather, my expectations grew bigger (larger) when I realized that this novel was one of the books which were was introduced in a TED video I really enjoyed. The speaker said that the writer of the novel was one of the authors favored by her grandfather who was a great reader. However, something's wrong with me? The first several chapters even made me yawn. Maybe it's because I have been away from novels for quite a long time. I have found that as I grow old, non-fiction books are more appealing to me. Or maybe it's because I have been so spoiled by easy-to-understand stories from dramas or speeches that my imagination, patience and ability to appreciate sophiscated ones have been degenerated horribly. My plan for this week is to read up to chpater 13 and Cordelia is till out of sight, even though the book suggests from the beginning that she would be the key element. So I felt I was being impatient at some point. Or maybe I am too used to speeches like TED talks, sermons, news, documentaries and the like, which are very direct in expressing what the messages they are trying to convey. Hopefully, I will get the hang of enjoying novels like this or, this novel will revive my ability to do so, if it has been hibernated inside me.

Hang of enjoying novels? You don't necessarily get the hang of enjoying something. Hang of (verb) means that you are ready doing this (verb) but you haven't quite mastered or adapted to doing this (verb) yet. It is ussually skill related. You get the hang of reading... you can develop and improve your reading skills to adapt to reading this type of novel. Enjoyment is not really something you adapt to. I would suggest: use reading instead of enjoying. Or, if you want to use enjoyment, I would use: Hopefully, I will develop/acquire a taste or sense of enjoyment... for these novels. 

Your grammer is pretty good. The flow is a little rough. I find myself getting lost in the points you are trying to make. Your points seem to hop around a bit. Overall, this is not bad.
