    Do you also rate books by the number of pages?

    This attitude here is what has fucked up gaming more than any greedy publisher ever did.

      If a book costs 80€ for a ten hour read, it’s a complete ripoff that nobody would buy.

          You still had the choice between a cheaper pocket book and the bound version.

        But what if the book were titled, “Here’s how I became a millionaire” or “steps to become a millionaire” or stuff like that

            Well, it would really just be a 2 - 10 second read, depending upon how fast you read, so…

            On the other hand, do you consider time taken imagining the story, as part of the reading time, because I know a book that would have a months long reading time in that case.
