i like reading novels do you?

I really do, I did not realize that they have a history of about the last 2000 years, beginning in Greece and Rome.

that is surprising, that people could even read back then, before it was simple to publish a book, that is crazy

They are typically published as a book these days, but I guess back then it could even have just been story-telling.

that is true, probably more simple, but still sort of impressive

And of course there is a novella which is a bit shorter than a novel but longer than a short-story.

that sounds like my kinda book, just the right length, some novels are way too long for my taste

Then of course there are novels like Moby-Dick.  That is WAY too long of a novel for me - my daugher had to read that last year for her English class.
