IMHO, Long enough to communicate your message and shorter than this thread. Perhaps include the TOC and cover, but exclude a LOF and LOT.
Mine? 2 pages. Me, 2.5 pages? I'd pad out to a full 3.

Unfortunately these days most resumes seem to be filtered by recruiters, HR outsourcing shops, and computers before they ever get to the employer. Since all of these of entities clearly have little creativity or sense of humor, it behooves one to stick to a standard-issue resume format. IMHO. FWIW my resume is 2.5 pages and covers 20 years and 12 jobs.
