Not just mega-novels, it seems like the long novel of 400-600 pages are more common too. Seems like back in the day you could get a good story in 150-200 pages.

Not just mega-novels, it seems like the long novel of 400-600 pages are more common too. Seems like back in the day you could get a good story in 150-200 pages. But now reading books is a bigger commitment. I think I'm going to start on the "novella" category of the Hugo winners =/
- seasoup 11y agoI agree! My book is 175 pages because I tried to keep in the good parts and trust the reader to figure out why character A got to point B without explaining the entire journey. Skip to the interesting parts and let a couple lines of some dialogue explain the in between.
