Don't know. I suppose it must always have a degree of subjectivity to it. But I would certainly classify 70 non-stop pages of the author ramming their philosophy down your throat, in a poorly-made break from the plotline (a la Atlas Shrugged) as tedious. Or if it's a particularly abstract or advanced philosophical position that is difficult to describe succintly (a la Mind of God).How is tedium quantified?
Actually, both examples there seem to have in common that if the meaning/moral/philosophy of the story can't be explained in a single page then it's tedious. So there you go. I guess I can quantify tedium.
Besides, I was primarily disputing your claim that I associated ease of reading with how heavy the novel is. Not true.
