When a piece of fiction is generally good, I don't mind a long text (on the contrary, I get sad when a book approaches its end).

But I do everything to avoid bloated non-fiction, including reference books. The more lengthy they are, the more wordy they tend to be, and the harder it becomes to absorb the essence of the content.
