Yes, it was nice to have all those sub-200-page books in the 50s, 60s and early 70s. I'm still stuck on my first really big book of the whole challenge, the 560-page Mote in God's Eye, for 1974 and half way through the 5 decades. I hope to finish it this weekend. I think it's probably at least twice the length of my next longest book. The Masterwork edition of Flowers for Algernon was 310 pages, but in Mote the pages are printed pretty tightly, and there isn't even a new page for a new chapter. I expect I'll have to slow down a bit in the 80s and 90s.
