A book can be on anything - any topic. A novel is fiction or non fiction like an autobiography. A book can be a textbook, which is not considered a novel. A novel is read mostly for entertainment. A book is the broad term; a novel is more speficic. Then you go into categories of fiction, non fiction, biography, romance, drama, mystery etc.

1) The telephone book is not a novel, so there must be a difference... 2) "A novel [...] is today a long prose narrative set out in writing. The seventeenth-century genre conflict between long romances and short novels, novellas, has brought definitions of both traditions into the modern usage of the term." Source and further information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novel 3) "A book is a set or collection of written, printed, illustrated, or blank sheets, made of paper, parchment, or other material, usually fastened together to hinge at one side. A single sheet within a book is called a leaf, and each side of a sheet is called a page. A book produced in electronic format is known as an e-book." "Books may also refer to a literary work, or a main division of such a work. In library and information science, a book is called a monograph, to distinguish it from serial periodicals such as magazines, journals or newspapers. In novels, a book may be divided into several large sections, also called books (Book 1, Book 2, Book 3, etc)." Source and further information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book

A novel, in the true sense of the term, is something that explores existence, human emotions, the modern world... it reveals things to us previously unknown, it poses questions without the intention of providing answers, without even the certainty that answers exist; but by the journey of reading it, the reader feels illuminated. As Milan Kundera says in "The Art of the Novel" (a collection of short treatises) - "the novel's raison d'etre is to keep the 'world of life' under a permanent light and to protect us from the forgetting of being." Every novel tells its reader - things are not as simple as you think. Books just tell stories. And there's nothing wrong with that, it is all good fun.
