No but it will determine when I read it, I don’t like to read really long books back to back I need to break them up with shorter ones.

Page count does not usually affect my decision to read when it comes to fiction. For non-fiction, however, this might be a factor.

I have to be in a certain mood and have enough energy to start a long book. It requires more investment. I'm a fast reader so I can knock out a short book anytime.
