I completely agree that pages are meaningless as a measure. It's why I don't include a page goal in my reading challenges which are more about the kinds of things I am reading than sheer numbers anyway.
Just this year I read The Variant Effect at 236 pages and Children of the Jacaranda Tree at 288 pages.Yet The Variant Effect has 2500 more words. I knew the progress was going by slowly with The Variant Effect while it was pretty typical for Children of the Jacaranda Tree.
