I'm more of a "Novel in Verse" type of guy. Not too many unneeded details, like in the other big novels, and still not as abstract and strange as some of the more esoteric poems I've read lately. Balanced, but not boring.
p.s. Im not a big fan of the genre, I've only read "Onegin" after being forced to, by my school. But still, I like the concept.
There is a barrier to entry in long prose that doesn't exist in poetry. I'd rather be a novel.
