300 pages. In fine print. Too small even for a business contract. If you look at the Baroque Cycle as a whole, that's over 1000 pages, in that fine print.

Actually, at the risk of sounding like too much of a booster, but I think my friends’ books are pretty good: Check out In the Time of the Sixth Sun, Wasteland of Flint, and Land of the Dead by Thomas Harlan…
300 pages is not long at all for a novel... I suppose it is too long for people that can only "stomach" instant gratification (ie: MTV generation), but how many of those types will you find playing SE4 in the first place?
