the novel is a series of questions and answers. the question is in the form of "what is X" where X is a noun in the answer of the previous question. the first question is "what is love?" there can be no duplicate questions answers must be short and concise

Nice.

Also: irritating, because I can't get that !@#% song out of my head, now.

I really like this one - have you considered using Wordnet to make the generator dwell on specific subjects? You might also considered making repeated definitions only partially disallowed: repetition is an important part of written literature, and would work here. If we returned to the initial question every 200 or so definitions and then explored a different lobe of similar works from wordnet, it might very well be pretty readable, which is the highest praise you can give a generated novel.
