My problem with books that are too long (for me) is that, by the time I've reached the end, I've forgotten a lot of what the beginning was. but then, I have a compromised short-term memory from a (relatively minor) closed head injury.
This didn't happen with Name of the Wind, but I was listening to that in audio on a long trip down to Florida, so the listening time was compressed into just a few days. I rarely get a chance to read/listen that intensely.
