Reader's Problem #1

Okay so while I am in the process of reading a book, I am going to write about the problems we readers encounter. One problem at a time.
Okay so, coming to the point, how often has it happened that you walk into a place with a book in your hand and this one person goes 'I dont get how you read thick books like these.'
I mean come on, who judges a book on the basis of how thick it is. Moreover, people actually avoid books with over 400 pages.
Honestly, I dont see what is so intimidating about books. In my opinion, a thicker book is just a lot more of awesome book. If it were upto me, I would never let my favorite book end. So I guess that is that.
