The most based books are always -200 pages. The most ill read is 240-260. All +400 pages books are written by sell outs who used to get payed by wordcount.

The only fiction I read is light novels.
It's fine for scientific textbooks and works of history to be several thousand pages long (like Will Durant's Story of Civilization).
People who waste their time reading door-stoppers written by David Foster Wallace should unironically kill themselves.

Why does a page count fuck people up so badly? Scared of a bit more paper and text? You can’t eat into your Twitter time and emailing people at a coffee shop? Fuck outta here.

Spending months on a book is horrifying to people who spend a month on a 300 page book and browse the internet for 8 hours a day

the argument is that overly drawn out books are published by people with a vested interest in money. imagine reading a college student's essay but he didn't have enough to say so he fluffed the whole paper with filler words.

The subparts are called books or treatises, so it's a compilation of 200-300 pages ones, making it based.
