What are the worst books that you've actually managed to finish? For me it would probably be Eragon, as I thought the plot was extremely overused and ill-defined. In general though, I don't finish books that deem bad, so my...

Writing a novel: How long should chapters be?

handsomeitaliano @handsomeitaliano (1050) • United States 24 Apr 09

I'm just wondering, I've heard that it doesn't matter and the answer can vary but just thought I'd see what you all would think. I'm writing a novel that is based on true events that happened to me in the past. It's sort of a long...

micpie94 I really don't think it matters. Many books have chapters that are roughly 20 pages long, but some books I have read have chapters that are aroung 3-5. Robert B. Parker's books have chapters that are really short, but are 280 pages total. So he ends up having...

kel1483 @kel1483 (986) • United States 25 Feb 09

micpie94 I like paperback because they are usually smaller and more convenient to carry around. However, hardcovers usually seem to be in way better condition. My paperbacks almost always have a bend on the cover before I am done reading them.

CRSunrise @CRSunrise (2981) • United States 28 Feb 09

I tried to write a book when I was in high school. I actually got a few chapters typed out, but I sorta lost interest, or something. There were times when I knew what I wanted to write, but I couldn't seem to get the words to flow...

micpie94 I am in high school and have thought of a few good book ideas. I started on called "Nightmare Alley", but only wrote a few pages. I think the idea of being an author is so great that we think we'll write a book, but we most likely never follow up on the plan....
