New paperback novel size . . .

[BOZ]

this is the first paperback printing for those books, unfortunately. :\

I haven't noticed this; but then, every time I go to Barnes and Noble it's straight to the kids section so my guys can play with the Thomas the Tank Engine trains. Dangit. Next time I'll look at actual books.

Fear not Cathix, I suffered from this malady for many years. However now my child is 10, going on 30, and amuses herself in the Young Adult section, which is right around the corner from the Fantasy and Horror sections. So I can actually window shop at the book store again.

The novella is a good size for those of us that don't want to invest time in a 300+ page novel. I know I like shorter stories because the author is made to condense their story into a more useable size, and not use flowery language or massive discriptions of characters and scenes.

Uh, of course, not all novels contain "flowery language or massive descriptions of characters and scenes." Sometimes novels are long because they have, like, complexity.

But hey, why stop at novellas? An Archie comic is about as quick a read as you can get.
