Novel size is immaterial to me, novel quality is what I look for.
I'll read the title, the author name, then open to a random point in the book and read. If it doesn't interest me, I'll try 2-4 more random places. Seldom check the first page.
If I don't see interesting bits in those random checks, back on the shelf it goes.
When I was a kid. The local library let you read books outside the kids' section once you turned 6 years old.
Being a shy kid, I walked up to the next shelf I saw. On the spine of the books, along with author and title, were small drawings of space ships.
I checked out 5 of them. 300 page novels. I found out later the librarian called my mom.
I got to take them home.
Before I got into the first grade, I was reading one of those novels in 3 hours.
My reading speed has slowed down a bit since then.
My sisters and I, around 10-12 years ago, tried to figure out how many books I had read. We decided it was around 8,000 to 10,000 books.
Ereaders, with the proper sd card, can hold 10,000 books.
I think I'm getting a bit behind in my reading.
