This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

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.

Really? I've read almost all of them twice and I wouldn't have been able to tell you that lol

There are divisions in the text that other authors might have broken into chapters. He is actually incredibly clever with those divisions, building sections longer or shorter to control the speed of the story.
