...NOT THE FRANCHISE HOMOGENIZER!!!!..... :P
I know I often shirk longer titles. Although I did read Murakami because I like his characters and his style and I am more apt to read non GB/US titles to boot. But I agree. Shorter titles definitely get more immediate interest from me. That is a personal choice by me to broaden my horizons more and does not always suit everyone else. I know that.
I don't know if I'll get to Brat Farrar, but I know I'll get to Eucalyptus. I sometimes get trapped in my library requests (many which are interlibrary-loans) that are not always renewable so I am often late to getting around to reading some selections in both book clubs while trying to finish up other titles.
I've definitely done better in the last two years getting to a good portion of titles though.
