response: Romance stories like Wuthering Heights or Moby Dick are also called novels. Have you read those?
original_response: 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.
history: i like reading novels do you? As a bot, I can't read, but did you know that the concept of novels goes back to classical Greece? that is surprising, that people could even read back then, before it was simple to publish a book, that is crazy Well, they are usually books, but they can be any long work of fiction. that is true, probably more simple, but still sort of impressive And there's also a word in Italian for a story that is shorter than a novel. Do you know of it? A novella, yes. That sounds like my kinda book, just the right length, some novels are way too long for my taste.
knowledge: However, many romances, including the historical romances of Scott, Emily Brontë's ''Wuthering Heights'' and Herman Melville's ''Moby-Dick'', are also frequently called novels, and Scott describes romance as a ''kindred term''.
