Question:
I'm doing a sort of survey. Do you like longer books (200-300 pages or more) or shorter books ( less than 200 pages?)
I used to like to read and write long books with twisting, complicated stories. I Iike reading detailed novels with well described locales and fully realized characters. But as I've gotten older, my attention span has shortened.
Now I lean toward shorter books or novellas that I can read in a day.
Of course, a lot of folks write series which are actually single novels broken into smaller pieces.
So, what do you folks like? And why?

It's all about the story. If the writer can develop a character, growth, plot and world creation, it doesn't matter how long, or short, it takes to tell the story.

definitely longer books
