Any length as long as the chapters are kept shorter. I think shorter chapters prompt the reader to read a bit more and more until they go through 20 chapters more. Unless others are different, I would love to hear everyone's opinion.

I love any length that matches the story. As long as the story never feels too rushed or does not dance around the same thing for unnecessarily too long.

The length of the book do not actually matters to me so as as the book is good, interested, and always reaches a lot I will read but I can say from 300-400pages

300 - 450 pages. That's my sweet spot, although sometimes I might prefer shorter books.

The book genre determines the length of the book for me. For romance and love stories, 400 pages or more, for horror, nothing more than 300 pages for nonfiction, between 200 to 300pages and for poems,(if it's a book ), 100pages or less.

Around 250 words. It is nice and sweet and doesn’t drag on. I do enjoy myself a longer book sometimes, but it needs to be very well written to be enjoyable.

I don't think about that when choosing a book, but when in the library or in a bookstore, I realize that I often pick a book that is 200 to 300 pages.

Post by Michael Adam Glidden Forteski »

There is a sense of accomplishment that comes with reading a lengthy book around 800 pages. That's sad I don't really care how long the book is as long as the narrative and the content or the writing is great. It could be a hundred pages and I would find it fantastic it could be 800 pages and I would find a fantastic it's a it doesn't matter.

I like reading books that are around 300 pages. I want to feel like I’m getting somewhere when reading.

I do not really consider the length of the books I read. However, looking at my book shelf I guess around 300 to 400 pages. More if you count all the pages together in a series.
