Terry Pratchett is dead I think, and he said that chapters were for children. Would you agree?

I like chapters, they help keep large organizations like national motorcycle clubs together while retaining a level of independence.

Well the last guy who said chapters were bad ended up dead so I'm completely pro-chapters
There's nothing that says that a fake can't beat the real thing.

You must not imagine that for beings like you and us there can be laughter. The low men laugh, and we envy them. But for us, the higher ones, there is no laughter, only an unending vigil, purely serious, stretching on into the night.

Discrete logical units have a clear purpose in writing: comprehensibility and easy reference. Call it chapters or sections or books or parts, whatever tickles your peach - just don't expect me to entertain any deconstructionist bullshit.

The purpose of chapters is to make it easier to put down a book.

Since I was never able to do that with any of Practhett's books regardless of whether or not they had chapters I don't have an opinion.
