Chunksters fear ?

I m planning to read both frozen heart and don Quixote in the next months one is over 700 pages and the  other over 900 .Most of books I read tend to be 150 -350 pages long on the whole what I call 3 day reads .Now over the years I have read huge tomes Ulysses ,Buddenbrooks ,midnights children and spent pleasant five-da’s at my grandmothers in Elie fife and whilst there read dom DeLillo’s underworld which I loved ,Now my question Is as Meike from periene press calls her books film books as they take as long as a good film to read ,so does that make large tomes “the wire ” of the book world ? I ve been getting a few longer books last month or two and also have my eye on a 900 page mexican novel .So why do we sometimes fear these big book .
