It's a good book. More pages = more goodness. That's like saying "Some guy offered me money but he won't give me less than a billion dollars...it's too much! wah wah". If you don't like the book or find it interesting then don't read it.

I don't get it. You'd be reading a book anyways, so at some point you'd read 1460 pages in total over a few books. I don't see you freaking out because you've read 1460 pages in total over the last 5-9 books you read.

How is it different than reading anything else? You're gonna read the same amount of pages even if you read other books, assuming you mantain the same reading speed.

100 is around 1.5-2 hrs for me, unless there's too much going on.
