I once read about the reading habits of children.
There is a very big drop in reading novels among teen girls and boys.
Boys especially shift their interest to comics and cartoons.
You are very normal.
I don't like the word 'fix' when it comes to reading.
You like what you like. There is nothing broken here. That said, it sounds like it isn't the novels that are boring to you, but the kind of books you have been forced to read?
The classics, the Nobel prizewinners, the 'how to kill a mockingbird'-kind of books are not for everyone. There are novels out there that won't bore you, that feel real and human. But you don't have to search for them. You aren't missing out. You can get your stories through the telly, no problem.
If you want to try fiction out anyway, you could start with graphic novels.
I like comics like Saga and Lore Olympus. Beautiful stories. Highly recommend.
You could also try science fiction novels like "The Martian" by Andy Weir. I felt like I learned something in that book - like the importance of duct tape.

If I go to Mars, I will bring duct tape.
