What length of books do you like most?

[browndi3]

If its a good book, I prefer 250 or more pages. If it so so, less than 200.

In general it depends on the story itself, if it is something interesting I don't mind if it is 300+.

[Zoe303]

I don't read books that are 500+, I think books that long would have too many details, and I don't like such books. :/

[Meg0169]

I would say I am happiest with a book around 500 pages. Anything smaller than 300 pages is too fast of a read and you cannot really enjoy it (unless it is an Agatha Christie novel).

[TheMusician24]

I like a book that can grab my attention and keep if for at least a week, so when it comes to length I hope for 300-600 pages. This allows a healthy story and involved reading.

I feel that 250 pages or so is a very comfortable length. Any longer and it's a little disheartening. i don't have anything against shorter books.

[Kitkat3]

I like 250-600 pages. There are very few books that I would be interested in for any more pages. Less than 250 and there isn't much material to develop good characters or a plot.

It takes me about a day to read a book, maybe 2 days so it doesn't bother me really.

I prefer a book to be no longer that 350.

It all depends on the number of events leading up to the climax and how many characters the book has. For example, 'Thorn Birds' is one lengthy book that I fully enjoyed, because the author did full justice in describing each character and meticulously detailing every event. In doing so, the book became lengthy yet the page count was 100% justified.
However, I have read many books whereby I have skipped pages just to get to the gist of the 'matter'.
Thank you?

It depends on how interesting the book is. If I really love the book then I want it to be about 400+ pages. Now if the book doesn't interest me as much, I would want it to be shorter.

[queeennnkatie]

Roughly 300-500 pages is good for me, but I'm always up for the challenge of raising the pages.

[Jaime Lync]

I prefer books to be about 100-300 pages but not any longer. The shorter the better because I always feel a sense of accomplishment everytime I finish a book.

[Storygamer88]

I would guess 200 or so to be my sweet spot - long enough to have depth but not too long to get boggled down in details or minutia.

That's not to say I wont enjoy a 500+ page work though - a lot depends on author pacing and plot elements.

[Pm7lucas]

I like books that are between 300 and 400 pages best...unless it's a favorite author, then give me as many as possible!
