i love reading novels, novel is a work of narrative fiction 
I do too. I read them all the time. 
which one is your favorite? the romance is a closely related long prose narrative
Romance is my favorite. Do you know what type is the most popular?
I love Herman Melville's "Moby-Dick" it's pretty popular
That was a very good book. What else can you tell me about novels?
the genre has been described as having "a continuous and comprehensive history of about two thousand years"
That is a loooooong time! I didn't think they would go back in history that far.
