The novel is an opportunity for adventure. A well crafted plot can take the reader places that only exist in a dream. The novel is an opportunty to meet someone new. A well developed character can impact the reader in a powerful way. The novel is an opportunity to live, very briefly, outside of one's own life. For centuries people have enjoyed reading novels, being taken somewhere else, being introduced to other people.
Reading the novel is a wonderful thing, as is discussing it. Sharing what one gets out of a book is half the fun. Discussing the plot, what happened; discussing the characters, to whom did it happen; discussing the symbolism, what does it mean. All of these things, and so much more, are what make the novel so great.
