I tend to fly faster through books with shorter chapters since I can be sure of a good stopping point even if I sit down for only a short time to read, but as long as there are section breaks or logical stopping points within a chapter, any length is fine with me.

Personally, I’m a short chapter lover because I feel like it makes it easier to pick up and put down the book at different times without having to stop mid-chapter.
