Readers of this blog will note that blogging has fallen off. I am currently working on two books, and this is cutting into the time I can spend on articles for this blog. Usually, I try to write two articles/week, but now it will be more like one article/week. I expect this to continue. One of the books is a novel that I am preparing for publication.
The other book is about ancient and medieval technology, with an emphasis on the role of Christianity in creating a technological society. I have a question for readers. I would like some responses to the following question: How long should the book be?
The publishers prefer short non-fiction books. A short book would be 100-150 pages long and would cover most of the essentials of what I talk about in this blog, but without going deeply into them.
A long book would be 250-400 pages, and it would be a more scholarly book. It would go into great detail about each topic.
Which would you prefer: a short book or a long book? Let me know in the comments.
