Well, clearly SOME books are unnecessarily thick. It's probably safe to cut out 800 pages out of any Tad Williams book, for instance. But as a general rule, I'd rather have one of the 400-600 page books of modernity than the 200 page books of olden days. Rendezvous With Rama is a nice skeleton of a story, but it's hardly a full book.
