wtf is a "chapter book"?
It's a book with chapters. Basically a regular ass book. When kids are real little, their books are like 15 pages long. Then in like 1st or 2nd grade, they move onto reading big kid books - aka "chapter books" that have enough pages to warrant chapters.
You never hear someone over the age of 7 or 8 mention reading "chapter books" because they're just know as books.
Except anon, who is dumb as fuck.
There are regular books that don't have any chapters. Most of Terry Pratchett's Discworld Books are an example of this.
That threw me when I started Guards! Guards!. I generally only have time to read at night and stop at the first chapter break after 11:00. For several nights in a row I was reading until midnight, giving up, then forgetting by the next time. Eventually I checked ahead and realized there weren't any, but a lot of his 'sections' are chapter sized, so it works out.
