Jews

statistically, every author who ever wrote a book contributes to the average length of a book

>>23162101
My 3rd book is only 35,000 words or so... I think it is a great length to be able to tell a good story that someone can easily read in one sitting.

Fpbp.
It was very common for writers to be paid by the word/page.
The reader, being very often the average consumer, wants to have his money's worth.
Big book = more page per book = consumer ok with paying big bucks.
Which is why some books have very lengthy parts that add very little to the story.
Retards masturbate on moby Dick's parts where he describes the anatomy of the whale, but Melville purposefully did it to make money and satisfy his publisher, and the publisher did it to satisfy the consumer.

so readers are bad because they like what the publisher gave them because they wanted it at first place?

>>23165621
problem is when these faggots talk in circles and say nothing for those 100 pages then there's no point
