I liked Carolyn's answers!
And - *cough*- it bothered me, so I looked it up...
Novel......noun, a fictitious prose narrative of
book length.
Book - a written or printed work of fiction or nonfiction, usually on sheets of paper fastened or bound together within covers.
So, if a novel is a narrative of book length, how long exactly is book length? How many sheets have to be fastened together for them to be regarded as a book? Is there a minimum? And if there is, why doesn't the dictionary say so?
It's going to bother me all night now!
Off to think about seashells.....
