So how many of us prefer to read longer books than the shorter ones? For sake of measurement lets say that a long book is over 350 pages.
That is why I used a page goal instead of a book goal. The books I tend to read are generally longer (for example, Robert Jordan and Tom Clancy), so I didn't want to change my habits (and what I like!) to meet some arbitrary goal.

That said, I have been reading a lot more short stories (my average page/book is only 335 right now), but I attribute that to my Kindle purchase and the gobs of free short stories available. Before I got my Kindle, I rarely read any books less than 250-300 pages.
