Almost. They don’t call textbooks (like a Psych 101 textbook) novels. They do call books assigned for class that are not novels novels. Nonfiction, verse, doesn’t matter. The Odyssey. Guns, Germs, and Steel. Long books = novels. (But not textbooks in my experience or hearing.)

My guess: War and Peace has many pages. War and Peace is a novel. Textbooks have many pages. Therefore textbooks are novels.
