Children of Dune would have around 64 "chapters"... Personally, I don't like TOC's that span several pages...

(I also checked the other 5 books, they would have around 50 "chapters").

In the Dune novels you can make some sort of chapters as you have those short quotes (assuming each quote would start a "chapter"). But I also have a book that doesn't even have that... It's a completely chapterless book. The only way the book is divided is by using empty lines between sections. How would you "chapterize" such a book?
