I refuse to admit that I started that one.
As with most things, quality and quantity are not always correlated. In my recent reading I've shunned longer books for the simple reason that I would rather read two different things instead of one long thing, or in the case of some books, three or four different things. I do tend to read novels and novellas mostly over short stories though.
I agree with the dense comments that have been made. Some books just take longer to read given the same length. Sometimes I really enjoy that and somethings it bugs me, but that is usually because if it isn't interesting than long is not a good thing.
