The term "light novel" has always amused me anyway. Most classic novels were released in that format. Hell, it wasn't until... well... the second half of the 20th Century that people started thinking a novel had to be something written as a single volume.
Although I don’t know about the directions at 4:51.
It’s commonly known when you look north in Japan East is to your left. Please don’t try to correct that sentence. It lasts only for a second but I wouldn’t expect a mistake like that.

It wasn't until the 1970's that people thought the novel meant something the width and weight of a housebrick. Most of all the classic novels are about the size of "light novels", anyway.

A fair amount come with pretty pictures as well.

You know, War and Peace is pretty much the classic literature equivalent of the Namek Saga.
