What is interesting to me about the answers coming back is I suspected that people do like long books, but agents consistently say that they will reject a novel based on word count alone. long novels.

I am one of those who dislike long novels. SHORT novels all the way. I am glad publishers reject lots of long novels, most are not worth wasting the time to read. Stephen King and the like need an editor... or a bonfire
