What is your page preference when it comes to reading a novel?

Personally, I only read books that are AT LEAST 700 pages. Anything shorter is just plebeian.

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 27 20:08:02 2010 No.1163434 so, what you're saying is, quantity over quality. which is wrong, by the way.

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 27 20:09:02 2010 No.1163437 i only read novels with prime-numbered quantities of pages

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 27 20:11:02 2010 No.1163444 My two favorite novels are Les Mis (>1400 pages) and The Red Pony (<150 Pages.) Wrap your head around that.

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 27 20:12:02 2010 No.1163450 I don't care since the number of pages depends on the size of the text but.. it depends whether I want a light read or to be engaged in the book.

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 27 20:22:02 2010 No.1163471 300 pages in normal sized font is a pretty good sweet spot. Plenty of great books are shorter or longer, but that's a good compromise. It's short enough you can finish it even if it's a crappy book and long enough to be satisfying if it's a good one.

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 27 20:43:02 2010 No.1163508 Shorter because there are so many books and it'd be easier if they were all short, but really, I don't care; whatever works for the book. Awesome album by the way.

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 27 20:50:02 2010 No.1163526 Hemingway wrote a beautiful six word short story. For Sale: Baby shoes, never worn Quantity over quality is wrong OP, and you're a simpleton if you believe it to be true.

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 27 20:57:02 2010 No.1163551 >>1163526 He never wrote that. It's a fictional story from a play about his life.

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 27 20:59:02 2010 No.1163557 >>1163508 >>1163533 Every time I listen to this album I feel like I'm the only human alive during a zombie apocalypse.
