When I buy books, I really don't look at the size..what Im after is the quality of the story; if the synopsis appeals to me, I buy the book regardless of how many pages it has.

Nope not at all. As long as it captivates me or its something I want I'll get it despite length. Plus its just more stuff to go over, or if its short its just that much more times I can re-read it.

No. I'm not scared of thick books and I'm not scared of reading either. Its probably the thing I like doing best. If I think the book is well worth it, I don't care how much it costs. The only problem I have with big books is that it makes my arm ache while I read it. LOL!

My objection when I was younger was that I had to read the entire thing and write a report on it to share with the entire class. And get some mediocre grade for all that trouble and anxiety. Now that I do not have that obstacle I have the complete works of William Shakespeare, Edgar Allan Poe (I REALLY love his poems), -- most of Oscar Wilde, I think I'm missing a few works ...

The difference is that I'm deciding for myself what to read, not some school curriculum, and I don't have to compete with thirty or more others.

H.P. Lovecraft short stories are my current favorite. "The Other" blew me away ...

Being a Stephen King fan, large books don't worry me too much, as a good many of his are well over 500 pages. The only problem I have is that they are a bit weighty to read, especially if they are hard backs, and if I'm trying to read them in bed! I actually think I've only read a couple over 800 pages though.
