Dust off a seat and discuss a good book here...you do read, right?

A question about books

17 years ago

This might seem a bit odd, but I'm doing some research.  Hopefully some people on here can help me.

People between the age of 13 and 21, what do you think the average page count is of the paperback books you like to read? That is, do you think the average paperback you buy (or read) is 200, 300, or 500 pages long? Also, if you glance at your bookshelves, are most of your books 4.5" x 7", or are they 6" x 9" in size? Or for metric people, 11cm x 17cm or 15cm x 23cm ? (or nearest measurements to those values)

Usually 500 pages or more, I think.  But I just looked at my bookshelf and the dimensions of the books are fairly evenly divided; that is to say I have an almost equal number of each.

I don't think I have an average per say.  I'll read them of all shapes, sizes, generes, text sizes, and topics.
