You are reading a 200 page book and a 2000 page book in different ways with regard to interpreation of what you are reading. I find it very strange that these kind of knowledge does not affect how people read. If a short story is 4 pages or 40 pages will totally decide the strukture of the story and you need to have some hint about the structure to be able to read it properly.
It also seems like people only read for "enjoying the story" which is strange. A book is more than the story.
