Absolutely. Rarely, I'll pick something especially long when I want to be immersed for a long while.

Usually I'm attracted to shorter things, mostly because I can get through them (I'm a fairly slow reader) but also because shorter works -- short stories, short novels -- often demand a tighter story and a faster pacing that I tend to enjoy. Short attention span I guess.
I'm currently catching up on some selections from this list:
