Too long.

Post by philofra »

I am always impress by the fact that people can write books and can fill them with so many words. But for the most part I find books too long and laborious because of their length. For that reason I don't read many books or finish them.

Can't we have shorter books that get to the point and stick to the point?

totally!

although if some books are extremely good, their length doesn't matter, short or long, and if a book is extremely bad the same applies

What are you on, that mind numbing stuff that makes for overly long books?

The task of producing a concise book which is to the point.
