Do you prefer books with long or short chapters ?

[Kayla Archer]

I prefer short chapters for several reasons.
It makes it easy to stop reading when needed.
It makes me feel like I’m reading the book faster.
I give myself little goals and try to shatter them with short chapters.
It just makes it fun for me.

[Betelhem Demsie]

I like books with less than twelve chapters. I love books with few and long chapters.

[Henry Patrovic]

I like short chapters more, since I can pick the book up and quickly read a chapter.

[Jay Peter]

I also don't care. Even though chapters that are only half page long bother me if they are put one after another. It feels like it stops the flow of a book. If the book is good, however, I really don't care about the length of the chapters.

[Marie Chalupová]

Short chapters or at least divided chapters. Lately I really don't like stopping in middle of chapter or division.
Especially on Kindle where I see the time, short chapters read a lot faster because I read more if it's always just another 5-15 min rather than seeing 1h or more per chapter.

[Wisely Time]

I don't really have a preference. If the story is good, I won't even pay attention to the length of the chapters.

[Scott Fling]

I prefer short chapters i like to kid myself into saying "just one more chapter before bed will be fine" and usually read another 5.

Since I normally read in bed, I usually divide the long chapters into halves. Unless I'm feeling a little more not-tired, then I will probably read the whole chapter.

[Hazel Mae Bagarinao]

It depends. If it's long but I enjoyed reading the content, I never mind how long it is, but if it's short and I hate the content, it's frustrating and exhausting for me.

[Alissa Nesson]

I suppose it can feel more rewarding to finish chapters more frequently but I don’t usually mind how long the chapters are as long as it feels like it works for that particular book. Sometimes thrillers or suspense novels tend to have shorter chapters and I think that works well with a faster moving storyline, but I don’t mind longer chapters. As long as the book is good and I’m not bored it doesn’t really matter.

[Kristin Cowan]

Shorter chapters feel easier to read. I remember being a teen and reading James Patterson books so quickly

[Pranav Dewangan]

I do prefer a slightly shorter chapter. I don't mind the long chapters if its interesting and engaging enough. What I really like is a summary at the end of each chapter in non-fiction books.

[Tobi Adefila]

I prefer books with short chapters, I do not mind reading long chapter books, especially when it's worth it.
