Most, if not all, my reading decisions are based on book length. (especially as I'm trying to read 100 books this calendar year)
I tend to pick shorter books from unfamiliar authors, as I dont want to invest too much time in a book I may not enjoy, and will read longer books from 'trusted/liked' authors. I find it difficult to walk away from a book once started, even if its awfull, I will always try and finish it....stupidity, I know.
Since I started keeping track of what I have been reading (I started when I got my ereader) I have also found that I have been choosing shorter books than previously, mostly 200-300 pages, and I think its because I like to see my list of 'read' books growing, rather than stagnating as I plow thru a 1000 pager.
I think next year I wont publish my list anywhere, and start a few of the doorstop volumes I have gathering dust.
