So you can tell people on the internet that you read a 1000 page book

Exactly what I suspected.

Might be good

you get more invested in the characters. more room for image repetitions and motifs to develop in to symbolism. the theme can be fleshed out more. to train your attention span in our attention-based economy. so you can use it as a doorstopper.

"why eat a full-course meal"
because some people have an attention span wider than the time it took you to make this stupid fucking post

Why look at big painting?

Someone might say, “Why watch a three-and-half hour film?” Seven Samurai is 3 1/2 hours. Someone might say, “Why watch a ten hour opera?” The ring cycle is over ten hours. I don’t read a book based on its length but on its quality.

because the good ones are like watching an anime but its words on paper

I would say a 1000 page book is more akin to a 4 hour film.

Once Upon a Time in America uncut (the only version worth watching) is about that long. The Russian production of War and Peace which is kino is longer than that

But this is missing something crucial, a 1000 page book is almost 30+ hours at an average reading pace of 2 minutes per page. So it's more akin to 8x3 hour film. That's a lot of work which is why I exclusively prefer books that are somewhere around 250-300 pages.

Im well aware, thank you. All I noted was that 1000 page novels are more like 4 hour films. Three/three and a half hour films are more common, more akin to a 750-800 page novel.

It’s more about the accessibility and industry standard. Nobody that isnt autistic expects to read a full industry-standard novel in the runtime of a standard film.

Most 4 hour plus films are released as multiple films. The Godfather Part I/II for example, an adaptation of one book. The 1970’s Three/Four Musketeers is an adaptation of one book and even filmed as one movie, just released as two. Back to the Future already had a sequel planned but definitely at least part 2/3 is effectively one film.
