I find when I read a Novella I'm only getting into the story when I discover I have only a few more pages to read before the end. Then It always seems to be a very rushed and abrupt ending. I end up feeling cheated in some way, and feeling unsatisfied. I agree with Ottocrat. I find I get through a long book quicker than a short one. Some authors, their writing just seems to flow right off the page and you are carried along for the ride from page one. It's a fabulous feeling when that happens. A great escape. So my preference would be for a longer read every time. I don't have a problem finding my place when I resume reading unlike Mrs. Edelstein. How about using a Bookmark.
