Personally, I don't care much for short stories or novellas. I find that when I've invested some time in getting to know and care for the characters, I hate to say goodbye. That's one reason why I really like series. Even if each book is not so long, I can jump right back into the fictional world.
But I don't go looking for the longest books around, either. When the length is because the plot contains more threads and better character development, then the longer the better. When the length is because an author is padding out the book with meaningless twaddle, then I get frustrated.
Book reviews and recommendations carry a lot of weight for me.
