"Best sellers" usually smaller?

This doesn't mean I will never read a short novel, but I want to fall in love with a book and am willing to have it keep me company for more than 400 pages.
I've been trying to read more and have been taking advantage of my library's online reserve system. One thing I've noticed over the past couple months is that most books (newer, best sellers) seem to be shorter, less than 300 pages with large fonts, margins, etc. Just wondering if it's just me or if others have noticed that. For example, Larry McMurty wrote a book about his bookstore, and he had a blank page between every chapter, and each chapter was maybe a page long!
And then, to follow that thought, do any of you alternative between long and short books, or do you figure a book read is a book read?
